list price: March: £ 23588.60, October: £ 24768.41. March 1982: As in the price list of 1976, the name of the radio manufacturer Philips has once again been misspelled as Phillips. Previous price lists had Non-standard trim as an extra-cost option for the rear compartment. This price list (and many following ones) have a choice of leather trim or cloth trim listed. For cost reasons, the standard outfit was changed to the cheaper vinyl. Electric windows are now combined for front+rear. In general, the total list of options has become much smaller than in previous price lists. This was part of a much larger price reduction operation, resulting in a price drop from 27k£ to 23.5k£. This operation is described in various magazine articles. The new price already shows in an advertisement in The Funeral Director magazine of November 1981. But the price lists from July 1981 and March 1982 have consecutive publication numbers... The publication No. for this March 1982 price list is (44569) 3190/X. |

The price mentioned in this October 1982 price list was also printed in a sales brochure. That is the only brochure containing an explicit price. The next price list dates from September 1983. This all shows that the heavy inflation of the previous decade was under control now.
