That pink Lewyt is a blast from my past! That's the first vacuum cleaner I remember as a child. Ours was charcoal gray on the bottom and the motor unit was Pepto-Bismol pink, as were the tools. The only other one I've seen like that was in a photo of Hans Craig's collection. Although I'm feeling kind of overrun with vacuums these days, and not actively seeking to add any more to my collection, a Lewyt like that is one I'd make an exception for.
