Yep, in One. Remember seeing me 1st one, back in the day. £1500 new, then.
They've come a long way since. :)

Base list price was £1998 at the launch in June 1970......you must have been offered a good discount! When you say "come a long way" I take it you mean, much heavier, way more expensive (even allowing inflation...£1998 in 1979 is about only £40k today), way too fragile to use off road and less capable, too big for our 60s size parking spaces, no hoseable interior, and far less reliable!? :)

Got talking to the bloke at the time. As it was the 1st one I'd seen. He told me £1500. And if I remember correctly, it was that shitty Brown colour. With beige velour seats.
Was very impressed with it back then. :)
