31st may 1980. It says so in the advert.
On the plus side, I see the 1980 Skoda Estelle now comes with radial tyres.

£9349.66 in today's money so not bad I guess, sure Sprint was over £4000 though.

Yeah, that price is probably the 1300.

They have done what they still do today in adverts and on TV. Show the top spec model and then show a price for the lower spec models.
Try that today on a BMW and you could buy a car with the difference.

The 1850HL was over 5 large in the 79 autocar road test IIRC.
The Sprint was about 500 quid more...
Alun published the price list recently at various dates...
Note the differential over a Morona....worth every penny!

Note from Admin: sadly Jon passed away in February 2018 but his humour and wealth of knowledge will be fondly remembered by all. RIP Jonners.
