So, a DC07 De Stijl then?

[MVacs]

The head is from a DC04 De Stijl, yes. Most of the rest is DC07.

Oddly enough, my wife and I picked up one of the Casdon toy versions a couple of weeks ago for our Grandson, who has already shown a strange interest in Dysons (he tries to wrestle our DC07 away from me when I'm using it!). It's now definitely the toy of the moment - never leaves his side, and the floor is constantly being 'vacuumed'.

Well now you need to be the best grandad ever and build a real one! Find your local dyson breakers and ask for 10 scrap different coloured machines (before he's put any time into it) a d get parts swapping!

Good plan, Beko; start 'em young I say! Also gives Grandad an excellent excuse to acquire, and fiddle with more Dysons. The wife can't argue with that now, can she?

If she does, then she's a mean grandmother (and make sure you mention that out loud around the grandchild...)

About to check your site.
My De Stijl is the literal inverse to yours I.e yellow cyclone with red top and fins

I have a DC04 De Stijl box and the picture shows the same handle yours has, all red. Except my DC04 De Stijl has a purple grip down the front. Anyone ever noticed the 2 different handles?

Ones with a red grip that mached the entire handel was the early model - like a grey/lime dc04 or brushcontrol yellow - early ones had a grey grip matching the handle.

Late models had a purple grip -this mached the second colour of the machine - such as on the grey/lime dc04 that was lime to match the second colour and again on brushcontrol to match yellow.

Basically - if youve got a different coloured grip to handle its a late-late model,
if its a grip colour matching the rest of the handle - its the most common - early/mid/early-late

Thanks Elgin, do you know if the model number (3 digits at the start of the serial number) changed or was the number the same for both variants?

Sorry: not sure, i think the first 3 digits were for the model, like 060 is the yellow brushcontrol DC04 no matter early or late
