So I finally got my hands on a good condition concept one, Its a little off colour buy a wet sand and buff soon and it will be back to its nice white.

It even came with its attachments I forgot to take a pic of them.

It was made in the Eastern Cape

Wow! A Hoover Concept One Upright made outside of the USA? Amazing what you learn here at Vacuumland...

Were there 230volt Concept Ones made in the UK for Europe as well? Anyone know?

The only real problems with it are the cord winder is slow so I will re tension it and the headlight bulbs are blown and you can't get them here any more, outside of Kirby and the new Bissel's there are no headlights on vacuums cleaners sold in SA

If they're the 'snap in' lawn type,

we can send you some of those.  Then,  you, too, can HOOVER in the dark!
