US Hoover vacs with "UK RANGER" style hoods!

It isn't just vacuums though Anthony, I find that our cars from the 60s and 70s were very boring compared to the Cadillacs et al that were made in America during those decades.

I don't know what is going on with the UK ranger in that photograph, but it appears to have the middle handle bolt facing forwards, which relates to the much older design of handle and cable holder. The "correct", or should I say more popular design for the ranger can be seen in the very first photograph. The newer cable holder required the middle bolt to be inserted from the side.

I never noticed that Benny. Very interesting indeed. What year was your UK Ranger made John? Perhaps it was an early model whereby they used a different handle before switching to the side facing bolt.
