Hey Guys
I has an unused example of this, but sold it and regretted it. It's a very rare beast of a Hoover, the last incarnation of a model first made in the UK in 1949. This one is from December 1990 right at the end of it's 41 year production run!!!
The link is to the Ebay listing :)

A"BEAST", indeed.

Absolutely the best in commercial cleaning.

One of my favorite hoovers. A true beast. Very heavy. But they clean so well and run so smooth. Would love another in my collection some day

One of the best, most well constructed Hoovers ever made. My U7037 is built like a tank. Don't know why they quit making these

Why they stopped....

Hey Austin
One word... cost.
These were VERY expensive - I believe close to £300 by the time this was made.
The cleaning market was going further to the contract route rather than being done "in house" so to speak.
A new Henry could be had for under a third of the cost...
Guess which sold more!

I have several…...

I have several of these and would love to move them on to their "forever home"! Austin got one and can attest to their condition. They are in various states and probably need restoration but all there. If anyone is interested, just message me. Ken

Will trade...

I would like to keep one and would trade for its restoration if anyone wants to barter.
