Thanks for that.

Ps: I've had the priviledge of using a Hoover 'Conquest' (as per 1971 brochure), almost thirty years ago now.

Shhhh .....

I have had the same priviledge for the last six months or so .......

Actally I am undecided about the Conquest, I always liked the styling (and I am of an age to remember them being on sale) which seems to me so reminiscent of the late 1960s (I have always thought, for example, that sideways on there was a certain resemblence to the Mk 1 Ford Capri) and little quirks like the tambour cover ober the blower outlet. But I think my heart really belongs to the Lux 100, partly because of its (very different) almost minimal styling and partly because it was the cleaner my mother had from 1986-1976

'My mother had from 1986-1976'

Uh, did she keep it in the Tardis instead of the hall cupboard?
