Hoover Turbopower "Boost" U2716

Well i picked up this little gem from the British Heart Foundation for £15. She was in a rough state but shes coming up alright. At first i wasn't really into collecting vacuums but then i picked the U2716 up and well here i am today! If it wasn't for this machine i wouldn't be into vacuums today.
I now have replaced the lower cord hook.
 This machine was in the middle of the range and went for £144.98 in a kays magazine at the time, the highest of the range was the U2718 which was a blue metallic colour (that goes green over time) which had auto-flex and would of been £169.99. The lowest was the U2724 (red) which had no headlight,no autoflex,no air freshener and no "boost setting" and didn't have a hose attached.
