Rare Numatics Thread

[ultimatevacman]

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted a thread on here, I've kind of fallen behind, and I've got a ton of new vacs in the past few months.

My idea for this thread is to post photos of your rarest Numatic, I have a few rare Numatics, but I've selected 2 or my rarest, which I will picture below.

Here is my Numatic David, these were the same price as Henry back in 1990, and people didn't really see it having any advantages over the Henry, thus not many were sold.

This has to be my rarest Numatic, it's a 1979 NV200. This machine was pre Henry!

 

[ultimatevacman]

I also have a cream and brown Edward on the way, I'll post pictures of it once it gets here!

Anyway, I'll look forward to seeing some pics of everyone else's Numatics.

Cheers guys!

Joe

Very nice Joe - that 1979 model looks immaculate - where's it been all these years?


What happened to the Pifco Car Vac? - I see you got rid of it :-(

That TurboVac that citroenBX has posted the picture of is mine!

Is the rarest Numatic the Henry looking Grey James that I saw at the CB?

 

[ultimatevacman]

Steve, that NV200 came from Ryan (ry_ry87), it's been well looked after. The Pifco was given to Jacob (Suction selector), and the crevice tool that came with it went to George (dysondestijl) lol.

That Numatic Turbovac belongs to Matt, and it's very nice indeed. Do you still have it, Matt?

I wouldn't say the Henry Turbo is rare TBH.

Tayyab, it certainly is rare! It's a shame you didn't get it!

I had a sneaky feeling it may have been Ryan's - Its the only time I'd seen one before on his Youtube video.


Whats happened to him anyway - he never posts any more - has he sold his collection? Or just to busy with his policing?

 

[parwaz786]

Yes Joe I know lol, but is that the rarest?

 

[ultimatevacman]

He still has his collection, he's not been very active here on VL, but I've spoken to him on facebook. He still has his Henry from 1990 that he owned since brand new, and quite a few other nice machines.

Well Tayyab, I've only ever seen 1, so it could well be one of the rarest!

Rarest...

My guess for the title of "rarest" would be the Wendy. I don't know anyone who has one and I haven't ever seen one in person. The Nuvac's are pretty rare too, as are the very first style George from 1990.

 

[turbo500]

Whats happened to him anyway

He's still around. I've not seen him on here for a long time, but he's fairly active in the FB group.

 

[parwaz786]

Where did you see the James?

 

[dysondestijl]

Ryan had one, Tayyab
