Vintage 1981 Hoover Junior Compact U2190

A very rare vacuum indeed. To be quite honest I don't really know what Hoover's thinking was behind the Junior Compact, it's basically the same as the regular classic junior but with a slightly more modern looking hardbox design. The serial number dates this one to June 1981. It's another one belonging to Ric a fellow collector and friend. This particular model, the Challenge is I believe an Exclusive but i'm not sure who for? i'm sure someone can give me a bit of information on this one.
