It would be interesting to see how much more mundane cars cost back in the 80's such as a new Ford Fiesta, as an example, as I suspect it may have been about the same amount as a leather interior option on that 924!!

Alfasud Super 1.5 £4500

as an addition to the 1980 prices, using rpi to assess the value of a £1 in 1980 campared to a £1 now, (a factor of 5.17 to 1)......the Porsche 924 Lux was the equivalent of £47202 in today's money :shock:
