The 1923 Bull Nose (unsurprisingly) survives - but not the RR, registration YJW47.

Lovely bit of film.
Has anyone else used a vacuum cleaner spray gun? My mother sprayed our Ruby with her Electrolux in the 1950s and I used it again to apply the primer coats when we restored it in the 1980s. I got a better spray pattern than the bullnose Morris owner!

I spray painted the Seven's wheels hanging on the clothes line with silver paint using mother's vacuum cleaner gun in the 1950s.
Don't think I ruined the vacuum !

I had long conversations with a colleague at work about spraying with a vacuum cleaner, some 10 or 15 years ago. He was a firm advocate. I'm afraid I failed to keep any useful notes and he has now retired...
