What's the equivalent today?

Or for the really young ones like Green 1 and Honda All, that's twelve and a half pence!

Post by: Chris400F on May 30, 2016, 12:10:38 PM: I started my first Saturday job in 1975 at 47.5p per hour (that's when we still had the 1/2p).
My first SS50 cost me £120 and even came with the petrol coupons issued in 1973 at the time of the oil crisis.

Post by: Seabeowner on May 30, 2016, 12:24:08 PM: Wow Spitfire at least you are making me feel young. I started on £20 a week and the avatar pic is my CB500 that I paid I think £720 in August 74 from HGB in Harrow.
