The exclusives detailed in Which Magazine were the following:

model 11000 (1000rpm) 'Allander' for House of Fraser
model 11300 (1000rpm) 'Debonair' for CIH Independents
model 11400 (1000rpm) 'Crusader' for Rumbelows
model 11500 (1000rpm) 'electra' for the Electricity Board Shops
model 11600 (1000rpm) 'Crusader' for Rumbelows (this, I assumed replaced model 11400)
 
and the model 11500 'electra' electronic de luxe, of which Mike has a lovely example (will let you post the picks of your machine Mike!)...

Models 10700 and 10800 were upgraded to become models 11700 and 11800, circa 1983/84, and apparrently gained the names 'debonair electronic' and 'debonair super elctronic'.

No pictures of either of them unfortunately.
 
Nor a picture of the 1984 model ????? concorde electronic exclusive for Comet.

I think the above was probably the final model based upon the 10700.
 
1981

Not forgetting though, the pinnacle of the black facia machines in the form of the Model 12000 Microelectronic De Luxe.

Only ever saw one of these - a lovely looking machine

Hi Paul - great scans! Have never seen that MicroElectronic model before, looks very hi-tech - as you know I have a soft spot for all-pushbutton control panels!  What does the dial on the right say? I can't quite make it out on my screen.

 

Cheers, take care,

Hi Jon and James.

Have only the vaguest recollections of the Creda MicroElectronic and it was one of the first machines I ever mentioned, when I joined Discuss O Mat! Question was basically did anyone else remember it.

Then Mathew (keymatic3203) produced a book with a picture in it of the 12000 and finally there it was!
The machine I saw was plumbed in and working, outside the town centre branch of (I think) Currys in Accrington.

The dial is 'power off' at the left and 'power on' at the right.

Below is a link to one of Hass' adverts, containing the model 12000 and a front venting Creda Debonair...

 
Loads of exciting Creda/Hotpoint instruction book reading material Starting with the Creda 11800 debonair 1000.

Creda Debonair - Popular

Timer - this makes a lovely loud click tick when moving around!!

 

Dont you just love 1,2 5 & 7 - These relate to the HLCC (Home laundry Care Council) fabric wash codes, most washing machines in the UK from the 70's had these simple numbers to programme your wash - much simpler back then  - but I do like the overrides of today!!

 

1 = Whites 95d

2 = Lights  60d

5 = Darks 40d

7 = Woollens 40d

My neighbors as I was growing up in the UK next door had a Creda Concord 1100 with the dark facia, two dials, three or four switches and a tiny on/off button, can't find a photo of any on the internet but it looked awesome. It was replaced later with a Creda Supaspeed 1200. Very cool. If anyone has any photos of the Concord models that would be a great memory jolt :-D
