The retail price was about £450, but it could be bought for around £400. The Elite model retailed for £510, with an actual purchase price of £450 (what I paid for mine, BITD.
I used to sell decent cars for that sort of money back in the day! I wonder what £400 would be in todays prices? £400 was a lot of money back then. I got £700 grant to last me a term back then!
I've been told it's a '93. I got it from eBay as a frame which was 2 tones of metallic blue but no decals. I'm running XTR 950 v brakes but had to use an adapter brace at the front on the P2s and fabricate adapters to run off of the U brake fixings at the back. The frame came with no rear U brake bosses so this was the hardest part.
