So I ordered some parts for my new g5 from Kirby Kuilsriver here in Cape Town. After the delivery person saw my vintage Kirby display at my showroom I got a call from the owner who asked if I was the guy in the magazine with all the vacuums ( a spin off from the national Geographic clash of the collectors thing) 

He asked me to come and see him and today i headed out and was given these. 

 

I was given these two lovely machines. 

a Classic 1cr and a Classic III

Up until a few months ago I had never in all my years repairing vacuums seen a Kirby Classic III Now I own two. 

The Classic 1cr was one of my next Kirby's I was after. 

 

Well tomorrow is a Holiday here so I guess I will be spending some time in my home workshop making shiny.

 

I am really chuffed about these.

Gareth,

Congratulations on getting your second Classic III! This one you found is more original than the first one, with its original pointed handle grip.
