I've just used the INFLATION CALCULATOR

http://img.thisismoney.co.uk/calculators/calcPrice...

to work out £18,083 equivalent to £30,922 in today's money. I wonder who'd pay that for a brand new one now!

21K for an S3C in March 1991, seems expensive compared with everyone else?

That's interesting - everyone (well, me) was suggesting the last incarnation had priced themselves out of the market with their range begining at 30 or 40k in the last days of Smolenski; maybe that's not the case. Presumably a 'specced wedge equated to the equivilant of well over £40k back then.
