1973 prices and options:
list prices: April: £ 5839.16; August: £ 6401.64
Note that this April 1973 price is slightly lower than the last 1972 price.
The difference is in the tax calculation, which changed from a single
Purchase Tax to a split Car Tax plus Value Added Tax.
1973 was the year of the oil crisis (October), but unlike other car models,
the DS420 did not suffer much from this.
Most probably the custom base for this type of car
was wealthy enough not to care much.
April 1973: both sides of this price list were printed in blue,
but for greater readability I have converted the list page
to B&W.
This price list has publication No. AD/B50.
