After a long wait, it has finaly arrived. It has some damage to the bag door and height adjustment. Would love to make this all in good condition, if not its for spares! |

Thats a nice example of a very late, very rare version of an otherwise incredibly popular & long running model. This one will have probably been made in 1994 or even later still. |

Yes really. How can I tell? Well for start, it has an excess of slate-colour parts on it. The lettering is also of the later style. But above all, what do you see in the place where the autoflex button cap would have been...? |

It could be easily aged by the serial number to settle this matter. |

Settle this matter? Oh dear. I hope you didn't think I was being pedantic. I wasn't. I'm just saying its a late one. Loving the red turbopower by the way. Not many stood the test of time. |

No i was just saying that it would be the easiest way to resolve the matter. The red Turbopower is in good condition but it doesnt feel like a good build quality compared to other Hoover models. |
