Hi folks. I have not been around for some time, work issues, and illness and redundancy etc I have to clear out some duplicates in my collection, and some I don't have the space for anymore. Here are the three on ebay right now. I hope they end up going to a good home folks...

Guys and gals, Here is the latest addition to my collection courtesy of James B, Kirbymodel2c. This I beleived to be an early 912 when I first saw it, one with a replacement handle and bag, but it seems from my having examined her up close that she is in fact a very early 912A, with a certain...

Guys and Gals, I have become the proud owner of a Lux Z65, (one from my childhood memories) courtest of kirbymodel2c, James. :D:D:D:D She is in need of a little TLC however and requires a new end piece. The end where the hose goes into the machine is chipped and damaged to such a degree that...

At last I have one of these rare birds of my own. Long after the Junior U1012 was discontinued as the main model in the UK junior line up came this catalogue special. This is finished in a colour scheme very reminiscent of the original 1346 of 1967, but was around 15 years later in 1982...

Guys and gals, I have recently aquired a late U1012, this is the stupidly rare Catalogue model from the early 1980's. It is fairly complete, however it is missing its furniture guard. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE is there anyone out there who happens to have a brown 1346 furniture guard which is...

Guys and Gals, I give you, James Brown. Courtesy of BBC EAST MIDLANDS TODAY. http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastmidlandstoday/latest_stories/ I don't know how long this will be available for, but the last story on the lunchtime edition from 5th Feb is the best news item I have seen in ages. :), well...

Guy's and Gals. Just a few pics of my latest addition to the Classic Hoover Emporium. Described on the ebay auctiob as too good to throw away, she still garnered no interest even though she had a complete boxed set of mnt, unused tools. Here she is before I have had chance to clean her up and...

Guys and Gals. James B. Iam looking for a few minor bits to complete a H2 Legend I have just been given. I would love to find the kick plate over the switch and handle lock, the button from the handle lock, and the coin tray from the back of the handle. She is just too good to let her go, and...

i have just won a very rare bird indeed. A 100% UK 240v TriStar on Ebay. I will collect it as soon as the seller lets me, a pics will follow. I do not know of any ithers this side of the pond and will be seeking knowledge and opinions duely. Strange too for me as this is not a HOOVER...

Guys and Gals, Take a look at this beautiful lady, all in her box, never having seen a carpet in anger! I know that this is possibly as rare as a working Model "O", but this has to be some sort of Ebay price record for a vitage vaccum cleaner? (OK I admit, if I had had the money, I would...

Hi Vacuumland. She has arrived. My U4082, one of the rarest machines on this side of the pond nowadays I think. She aint perfect, but she runs sweet as a nut, and will some TLC and some time, she will look almost like new. Some of the deeper scratches cannot be got out, but are not bad enough...

Hi all, I hope Vacuumland all had a happy easter. I am at present restoring my Hoover U7008 commercial to as near New condition as I can, and the only part which I need to make it look factory fresh is a good furniture guard. This rubber shorud which encapsulates the entire base is long since...

Charles-Richard. You mantioned on a couple of threads I have read that you would like to have hold of one of the early UK Hoover Junior models, 370 or 375. I am sure you have seen my 370. My most prized machine. :D I have in my collection 3 model 375's, all in original condition apart from...

Hi guys and gals. I am in the process of updating my website. THE CLASSIC HOOVER EMPORIUM. (a while since I did, and a lot of work to catch up with the VINTAGE Hoover Emporium). I have added my own forum there if anyone is interested. Feel free to post, the only thing I ask is that any...

Guy's, I would like to open up a thread dedicated to the sturdiest cleaner every built (In my humble opinion). The Hoover Model 912 UK, or 90 US. I have a 912 and it's younger sister, the U7008. These machines remind me so much of being at school. The school I attended when around the age of...
