fatrajah   10 #3 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) My Dad bought a 1962 Ford Classic from a dealer for £250 in December 1966. I would imagine that a 1961 Morris Oxford Estate would be about £300 in 1966. Edited January 19, 2015 by fatrajah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

fatrajah   10 #5 Posted January 19, 2015 If I remember rightly, a Ford Classic cost just over £800 when new in 1962. Unfortunately the Classic did not have good reputation & consequently suffered from more than average depreciation, hence the £250 price tag in 1966. I would say that my previous estimate for the 1961 Morris Oxford Estate price in 1966 was too low. Probably more like £350. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
