Hi all. Well... I was donated this Hoover high power compact U2128 commemorative edition to celebrate the 1981 royal wedding between Prince Charles and Diana. It arrived today.Smile

 

They wanted to donate it to the museum to help look after it as it has been in the loft for the last 20 years.

As you can tell it came with the attachments,boxes,manuals etc. It even came with the original sales receipt. I've not read the newspaper page yet.

It still needs cleaning and polishing up. I'm sure it will come up great.

 

Last year I was offered a new in box one of these but they wanted quite a high price for it which I'm sure quite a few of you HOOVER collectors out there would of paid for one of these NIB but since I'm a KIRBY man I decided to pass on it.

 

Hope you like the pics of it.

The Hoover lasted longer than they did... Nice machine. I've never seen a hard bag junior in the flesh before either

Hi,

kirbymodel2c's profile picture

Hi Sam. Yes this is the 1st one of this style Hoover I've seen in a very long time in person.

Quite a few of this style machine I have seen in person have suffered with cracked bases/housings. I'm guessing it's from the heavier weight put on the base/housing compared to the soft bag versions.
