I should be seeing him in a day or two, as I'm on my way to Castlemaine.

Using the Bank of England inflation calculator that comes out at £53,900. That sounded quite cheap to me for the class of car but "whopping" seems appropriate when Autocar had the Aprilia at £298 in 1937 which is becomes £17,190. David |
