The June 1979 price came over 20.000 Pounds. Only five years before, in 1974, the 10.000 Pounds mark had been taken. The sales figures did exactly the opposite: they dropped from 243 to 129. Undoubtedly, the closing of the VandenPlas factory, and the transfer of the limo production to Browns Lane in Coventry, played a role here.

We start with a price list for May 8th, 1979 (Publication no. 3190/N). There may have been one earlier price list, publ. no. 3190/M, but it is not in my collection. It is missing in the collection of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust as well, so it is uncertain whether it has existed at all.

All price lists still have two pages on each side, and are folded once. On one side is the Supercover page and the front page. The other side has the page for the Saloon models and the Limousine page. We show the latter ones for a few month together.

1979 obviously was a year with a very high inflation rate. The price of the limousine was now 6000 GB£ higher than it was a year before. And two more large increments were to follow before the year ended. This price list from 18th June 1979 has publication number 3190/O

Next is October 1979, publication no. 3190/P.

The June price list offered a choice of optional laminated glass and optional tinted glass. The laminated glass has now been deleted.

This December 1979 price list, publication no. 3190/Q,
has the same format as the other price lists shown above.

Between June and December the prices went up 15%.
