well here is my newest addition to my collection im in LOVE with the colour it deep cleans like any HOOVER would and I only paid £20 for this when i first got it the motor had a terible loud growl but after a full service and clean it works fine it even came with hose, adapter and crevice tool and a good friend of mine gave me the dusting brush all i need now is the extension wand

In the USA, Hoover's "Lightweight Upright" model numbers were:
Model 115 (c. 1950-c. 1952) (equivalent of UK model 119) Lark Model 12 (1953-1956) Lark Model 14 (1955-1957) Model 1330 (1967-1968) (equivalent of UK model 1334E) Model 1340 (1969-1971) (equivalent of UK model 1346) Model 1348 (1972-1977) (equivalent of UK model 1346A) Model U1025 (1978-1980) (equivalent of UK model U1012) With the exception of the 115/119, the trim colors will vary between the UK and USA versions. Model 1330 is colored white with grey faceplate, and jonquil green bag Model 1340 is colored shades of "seal greige" throughout Model 1348 is colored "seal greige" with garland green faceplate and bag Model U1025 is colored almond with pale honey faceplate and plaid bag ~Ben |

I also want to point out that the 1330 Lightweight Upright from 1967 was the only such model to be fully imported from the UK, and that all models from the 1340 onward only had their motor units imported from the UK, with the handles and bags being added on in the USA, at the North Canton facility.
