Shite being Hoovered

[beko1987]

Obtained a load of old vacuum cleaner brochure scans today to add to my collection, and have been chod spotting!

 

 

Hoover yer volvo estate with an Aqua Vac industrial. But can anyone name the trim level of this swedish beauty?

 

 

What chod lurks outside the door to this garage? Some sort of vauxhall? 

 

 

 

Make all the laydeez moist with the Aqua Vac Monte Carlo - but that is the van in the first scan?

 

 

Dyson now, with a VERY early DC01 brochure. But what dodgy stains is the owner zorbing out of his peugeot front seats? However, more pressing issues are did the DC01 have Hoover-esque upholstry tools for a limited time before getting the grey upholstry tool, and WHATS THE PUGLET?

 

 

Back to Goblin now, who must have had the next slot with the car and camera after Dyson, as it looks like another pug

 

 

Slightly staged shot of the seat and steering wheel, but what car had that trim colour?

 

 

That's it for now! May have to keep this going sporadically, got tons more on my pc. When I fix it's issues and get it booted up later this year,I'll have another trawl!

I love the name 'Monte Carlo' for a vacuum cleaner

[beko1987]

It does suggest a certain grandeur device doesn't it. Worlds away from the pos it would have been!

Crap scan, and the chap is probably dead now, which is a shame...

[Pillock]

The thing lurking through the garage door appears to be an XR4i (pepperpots?).... And a Cortina Estate behind I think.

Father ts300 had a couple of Electrolux escort mk3 vans on the forecourt at one point.

I can also remember thorn emi escorts

Judging by the colour the the Volvo 740, it is either a pre-facelift GL or GLE. My money's on the former.

Holy thead resurrection shatman!

 

In todays vacuum cleaner brochures, I spot this honey

 

 

No details found on totalcarcheck so probably well dead now possibly from too much damp steam injected everywhere!

 

Dirt Devil liked to keep your cars clean (1994 these brochures are, from Anderson Electrical before they sold out to Qualtex I think

 

 

Range Rover?

 

 

Golf floppytop?

 

 

Nigel Mansell (I think, was 7 in 1994...) advising how to royally fuck up your dirty fan plastic vac...

 

and finally, tiny tiny shot of a car from Vax...

My dads Sierra had the same trims as the Escort.

 

Whats with the scary lady attempting to hoover up her pet? Cat looks like it will fight back 

[Partridge]

I remember the Dust Devils. My Grandmother had one. There was something funny/ironic about it's death but I can't remember what

[beko1987]

I've got two, one in the shed thats broken and one that works really well and has tools

[Shep Shepherd]

My parents bought one of the original Vax machines in the late 1980s. It was rubbish in both wet and dry modes.

 

The carpet washer made by them which I bought a couple of years ago works really well, however.
