Steve,
I recently picked up a paperback book printed in 1966 by CONSUMERS DIGEST
magazine. It lists dealer costs and prices for options. Here is a brief
rundown, and if anyone has a specific question, I'll be happy to look up a
specific model.
Model Dealer
Cost
MG Midget $1595
MGB $2195
2 Dr. Sport Sedan $1585
4 Dr. Sport Sedan $1665
4 Dr. Princess??? $2460
Austin Healy Sprite (their spelling) $1525
Austin Healey convertible? $2905
XKE Roadster $4565
XKE Coupe $4725
Sunbeam Tiger $2835
Triumph TR4 Roadster $2310
Triumph Spitfire $1920
Porche SC Cabriolet $3975
================================================
Optional Equipment Cost
Heater $37
MGB hardtop $180
MGB softtop $20
MG Wire Wheels $80
Tires, road speed $25
Healey Radio $60
Sunbeam seat belts $10
Sunbeam Alpine overdrive $130
I guess this is what they mean by the good old days. Does anyone know what
a Princess is?
