...in a pale green colour, called the 'Spirit'. I cannot remember if it was an even more basic machine (I think it was). |

LOL! Just had to pull this one on you Mike. Was from a nice little hosueclearance shop, The only vac worth having at that from their little congregation. We did nothing but piss ourselves sniggering yesterday knowing we were just gonna put this up on here and 'forget' to answer your text LOL. We did have a good mooch around Warrington but nothing there except that Computer Control Exclusive which they still want far too much for. Had a nsoey around Widnes and Runcorn but agin nothing like a spares shop or anything. Widnes Market was a good Vac stall with a good choice of bags and parts but nothing vintage. Some good prices on new vacs too we noticed with Mach 7s selling for £100 a piece new. |

You know, that's a coincidence! I was only talking about Spirits and Powerglides on Hooverland the other day, after Chris posted a message saying how he'd like to see the Hoover Spirit manufactured again... As for Warrington, that was quite close to my old territory... Last year I collected a Hoover 425 from the motorway services near Lymn. Stephen |
