Does anyone know how much a 1970 914-6 or 911 would cost when new?

Thanks in anticipation

I think my 2.2 s was just over 5k. A fortune back then

From Motorsport February 1970. The on the road price for a 1970 911S was £5211 9 shillings and 2 pence. A 2.4S was £5222 The internet is a wonderful thing

It was not meant as a Jibe. So please don't take it that way. It's just incredible the amount of information out there if you know were to look

It's okay it wasn't taken that way. It's all about knowing what specific term to put in the search engine to get the answer you're looking for and when I couldn't find it I was sure that I would find someone on here who would know where to look. Thanks again.

£ 5211 in 1970 would be £ 68,307.87 today, using historic price calculator.

A bargain against the price of a 991 then. I'd take two

Apparently a 1978 911 turbo Martini cost more than £78,000 when new (that’s around £320,000 by today’s standards.
And a 930 Turbo SE(the flatnose) in real terms would cost more than the latest 911 Turbo S

Taken from the 1970 motor show review.
A 1970 911T on the road price £3671, the 914 was £2261 and the 914/6 £3475
Great looking through an old mag that I used to buy when I was a kid

Subject to confirmation, I believe a 2.4s sold for £170k today at Coys Ascot auction.

Apparently, in 1970, homebuyers could expect to pay £4,975 for a house.
The average cost of a UK home is now £254,000.

No wonder Porsche's were so rare back then!
