DavidBee Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 What's that in today's money? A small fortune, I bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) based from Inflation tool.com £100 buys you £1768.42 in value in 2020 So equivalent would be a staggering £8842.1 You would pay that for a tired "barn find" needing total rebuild? To be honest in 1972 I bought my early TR 2 for £70 with a new MOT and still have most of it. Rod Edited June 12, 2020 by Rodbr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dick Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I bought my 3a in 1972. My Father said that I had paid too much for it at £220. He said it was only worth £200!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
