A Royal Hoover.....

[kirbymodel2c]

<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">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.</span>

 


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">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.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">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.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">It still needs cleaning and polishing up. I'm sure it will come up great.</span>


 


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">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.</span>


 


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Hope you like the pics of it.</span>

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

Hi,

<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Hi Sam. Yes this is the 1st one of this style Hoover I've seen in a very long time in person.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">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.</span>
