This 918-01 was built in February 1977 according to the serial number, and it replaced the first 918 produced from 1972-76.

you cannot accurately date a hoover product prior to 1987 from its serial number without internal corporate literature. the best you can do is the date range from when it was produced and guess a year based on serial number (low, high etc)

Will,

Both this and the U7037 were initially sourced from Hoover's Perivale, England plant, hence the serial number format.
