On the subject of 'Vintage'

For me, anything that is considered Vintage must be over 20 years old, or has 'Vintage' styling which stretches back to previous models. Such as my Lux T2 Super has a Lux '500' styling, although not identical.

 

DC01s still have very modern styling. Remember guys, that was the 1990s, so designers made products look more modern. It was out with the old and in with the new..

The website also states 20 years old. As much as it's odd seeing DC01's in vintage, its completely right! In a few years all of the turbopower range will be vintage, and the Purepowers will be creeping in.

Like it or not, the DA001 is now Vintage, as it is technically 20 years old. The DC01 is not yet vintage as the new style Dyson logo and the DC01 logo didn't appear for a few years after the DA001 was launched in 1993, although I'm not exactly sure when the new Dyson logo and DC01 name came out - possibly in 1995 or 1996?

I think the DA001 had a couple of differences mainly in the soleplate design to the DC01, but is essentially the same cleaner.

 

Its also hard to imagine the Purepower being classed as vintage as its still sold even now in the same design as it was in 1997.

The Kirby Generation platform is now vintage too, even though the Sentria 2 is essentially the same cleaner, with a few facelifts on the G3 which came to the UK in 1991

 

Has Dyson announced any 20th anniversary celebrations yet? Thinking about it, in 20 years he has completely changed the face of the vacuum cleaner industry, and as good as wiped out demand for bagged cleaners.

 

Citroen BX should never sell his DC01/DA001 machines as these, being in such good condition and also being the original Dyson machines from launch will be very collectible in years to come. He should of course try to keep them in the dark, as light exposure will continue to make the ABS more and more brittle.

Its possible that the DA001 was renamed to the DC01 when the first canister model was launched in 1995, which was called the DC02, so Dyson then set up a new numbering system to call his machines as he obviously envisaged at this time that there would be more machines that he intended to bring out. Really, this numbering system should have changed with the arrival of the DC07, as it was not a Dual Cyclone machine - possibly calling it the RC07 instead (RootCyclone 07) unless the DC stands for Dyson Cleaner.

I am still not sure of the exact time that the corporate Dyson logo changed to that which we have today, as I'm sure I've seen a few DC02's that had the old Dyson logo on as well.

I don't think Citroen BX actually has a brand new in box DC02 clear, I think Citroen BX is just showing us all what one looks like.

I don't think there are many DC02's left in this condition now, let alone the Clear model, which I would love as I think they were beautiful looking vacs, both the DC03 and DC02 clear.

Logo change, 1996.

Whilst I cannot tell you hand on heart when the logo on yellow & grey models changed from the linear capitals to the solid lower-case, I am 99.9% sure that all the blue & grey DC01 and blue & white DC02 Antarctica Solo models featured the new lower-case lettering and that this was applied to the standard yellow & grey models either shortly before the launch of the Antartica Solo in the autumn of 1996, or at the same time.

The Kays Autumn/ Winter 1995 catalogue has the DC01 and DC02 with the earlier style logo. So it would seem 1996 is correct for the logo change

Go to start a new thread, and the 20 years or older choice puts the thread in vintage. Vintage is now 1993, which to me isn't that vintage, but rules is rules!

"Vintage" is relative to time isn't it?

Imagine that if we were living in 1981, the vacs of that time would be state of the art, so a pre-1980 vac wouldn't be vintage would it then?

As the decades pass by, those vacs that were considered contemporary then become replaced with more modern ones and thus become non-contemporary themselves.

Like it or not, and it sounds crazy, but the earliest Dysons are now moving into the 20 years old territory, and look how dated the DC01 looks now in comparison with the DC50.

Its a hard subject to call, but there has to be a cut off point when a model becomes not contemporary any more, and I think 20 years is a good point to call it.

However, I do think that we should have another classification on VL, namely  the category of "Classic", which would be what ex-contemporary vacs become when they reach 20 years old.

The word "Vintage" means "really old" or "antique"  to many people, and maybe its use for vacs of 20 years old is not that appropriate, but we cannot call a vac over 20 years old contemporary any longer, so I think a "classic" category is needed, and this should include all vacs between 20 and 50 years old, so that any vac currently made before 1963 would be considered "Vintage", anything made between 1963 and 1993 would be "Classic" and anything made after 1993 would be "Contemporary".

This would change next year to pre-1964,  1964-1994, and 1994+ as younger members join VL who would consider the oldest models in the Classic category to be Vintage relative to their age.

 

As I said, Vintage is always relative to time and the age of the person making the classification.

I agree with that! I'm 26, drive a 1997 car and think of it as new. I also don't class turbopowers as vintage.

Post# 253540 , Reply# 56   10/22/2013 at 18:26 (3,810 days old) by madabouthoovers ()        

Exactly Beko1987 - your car is not 20 years old yet - but would you consider a 1993 Vauxhall Astra a vintage car? Personally I'd hardly call a 1993 Astra a classic car either, but it would be bordering on it.

When we talk of "vintage" cars, would we call a 1963 MGB Roadster a Vintage car? Even at 50 years old now, I'd still think of the MGB as Classic. What about the Austin Mini? It was introduced in 1959, 54 years ago, but would you call the original Mini a Vintage car? I think maybe some people would who are younger than me, so its a relative thing.

What about a Model T Ford? now I think just about everyone would agree that this would be a Vintage car.

 

Whether its cars, vacs or anything else that consumers buy (OK, with the exception of wines and spirits), I think Vintage should not be assigned to an item unless its over 50 years old.

I know I'm hardly old, but it certainly makes me FEEL old when people consider DC01's their "childhood vac". I still very strongly remember the days before Dyson existed, and indeed the first few years when nobody had heard of them.

My Aunt and Uncle got a DA001 in 93, which was the first Dyson I ever saw. It was a good few years after that - maybe 95 or 96 - when they started appearing more and more and within a very short period of time, they were absolutely everywhere.

Look after the early ones with the fixed soleplates. Those soleplates are almost impossible to get now.

As an aside, we happen to have some brand new DC01 clear bins in original dusty boxes. Give me a holler if anyone wants one.

To the gentleman in the US upthread that asked about shipping one to the US, these are 220-240v machines and wont run on standard US voltage.

They can be £15 delivered. I need to check how many we have, but I recall seeing two or three.

We bought a ton of original, new, boxed stuff a few months ago that was ex-Dyson from the continent, had to send a luton van out there to get it, and there was a lot of treasure in there (for us) and a lot of new DC01 stuff. I only wish there was more of it as it sold so fast....

We still sell DC01's, but it is becoming challenging to find nice machines to start with that are not discoloured or with broken bits on the chassis. Motors are problematical now as the YDK armatures have just finished (I think for good unless we order 10k of them and they will do a run) and we sold our last new Ametek last week, so are now on used/tested ones hereafter.

I maybe should have kept the new machine in the box we had a while back (that somebody pictured upthread) for posterity.

Running a 110-120v machine on a step down is no problem. Running a 220-240v machine from a 110v supply, whilst possible with gadgetry, is not really advised.

Manchestervacs, Get discoloured DC01's, then use steel wool to get rid of the sun bleach, after you used steel wool buff the plastic with a polisher to make it shiny :D
