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.

August 1973 brought an almost 10% increase over the previous prices. The new price list (publication No. ADB56) was printed in a yellow/rose colour, which makes it very hard to read. Therefore we once again have the cover pages in the original colour, and the limousine details converted to B&W.

Apart from the April 1973 and August 1973 price lists shown here I have seen Jaguar and Daimler price lists dated September 1973 and December 1973. Since new Jaguar price lists, Daimler Saloon Models price lists and Daimler Limousine price lists usually were issued at the same moment, I suspect that there must have been Limousine ones in September 1973 and December 1973 as well, but they are missing in my collection.
