Hi all! So I've had a pretty good morning down at my local carboot. I didn't find a DC03 :( but oh well, at least I tried! I found this DC07 Origin Cyclone and bin unit for £10 and in very good condition! |

Inside it's a bit dirty, mainly stained and dried up dust. Mainly at the top though, the bottom is perfectly clean! :D |

You payed £10 for a cyclone for a vacuum you don't even have? |

It's the best I could do this morning. But I plan or restoring a DC07 Origin so I needed this part especially. I'm not paying £45 for a brand new one! |

I didn't see many vacuums at my local carboot :( But I found a guy who had THOUSANDS of Dyson, Hoover, and Numatic spares! |

I was given a DC07 Origin that's got a broken bin lid so it wont stay on, but the motor part runs fine. £10 for the Cyclone & Bin! My car boot has a stall where a man sells them fully cleaned for £4. |

What I need now to complete the restoration is the vacuum body + Motor, the brushbar, soulplate, hose and wand etc. But I really need the body and the motor complete with wheels and all to complete the restoration, and ebay hasn't got much options! :( |

I've got a chassis you could have for a few pennies. Not got a motor sadly, and the chassis is from a purple animal, but either steam punk dc07 or its grey anyway, I can't remember! |

Yes I would like to build a DC07. And yes, price does matter, so budgeting will be important. Also, beko1987, would this chassis include the following: - The spine - Holding screws for the motor cover - and also in good condition? (I don't mind the colour) |

And the other one - both were bought for the motors, as the spines are no good: |

Oh, and never drop a cyclone assembly off a DC07, or this could happen: |

I picked this model up off Ebay for £20, it was down as spares or repairs as it wouldn't pick up. It was filthy dirty as seen below: |

Never thought to check the spines, need to pop back to mums in a bit, so will check. I got mine for the motor and clutch too, since it's the cheapest way to get parts. Mine is quite faded though, not dropped it to check for brittleness though! Will report back |

But it was a newish model, so I snapped it up, it was one of the last DC07s to be made in about 2008: |

It was clogged in the hose, and the belt had snapped: |

It was called the DC07 Precision and was an Argos exclusive, the last of the DC07's to be sold before they finished production. In my eyes, a very classy looking Dc07: |

Hey Tim- I've got a DC07/14 brushroll and soleplate for the clutched model and the hose if you're interested. By the way I live only 2 mins away from Crich tramway village as I saw you had some vids of that on YouTube:) |

Just noticed you had a soleplate, I may have a clutch and a few screws too. |

I'm sure it will be under £20. Yep, everything in the PIC. I'll type out a full list to you in an email tomorrow when I'm on the laptop not tablet. It is missing one tab thing though |
