Oh, I do like it!
That is a very lovely machine. Hoover UK must have had (duh) their own native team of thoughtful designers - the case is so sleek and aesthetically pleasing in that unique Euro way.I'm impressed and entranced by the shape of the base how it 'touches' the floor all around including across the back. It adds mechanical as well as visual strength - is it a metal casting? Over here across the pond I've not seen a machine like this so forgiving my ignorance, What year(s) is it? Post Dial-matic I assume? But that plug! Man, those are big & ugly! I don't know that I could get my small hand around that. That's the sort of thing we put on electric stoves and clothes dryers and connect once...oh, right, they all use 240 VAC... Dave...ducks and covers... | ||

Jack, Yours seems to have taken on a loving glow evoking a few memories of my own with its radiant colour change. Funny how certain colours do much for bringing things flooding back. I like how yours has altered compared to our "Lipstick" red. Such a whoreish colour really yet so fabulous, Folks I give you Laquer Red and Deep Laquer Red

Thanks for the info. So the Sovereign/turbopower size wise would be like the Electrolux/my Volta 503 I'm assuming. | ||

Me quiet? God no we have had the Laquer TP for a while now. It was about the last time you were over in Crewe. Few new vacs, the Kirby is still the fave at the minute along with the Starlight, Lux Airstream - forgotten just how good they were. Also the newest aquisition the Cotswold Beige Turboopwer Total System to match the U5096. Paul may be good enough to post some pix as he has them on our camera. Next week we will be able to reveal a complete colourway collection we have been working on,
