Rick,
The base price for an 88 SW w/ Tropical Roof is $2,435 for petrol, $2,750
for diesel.
Add $32.05 per heater.
Add $4.20 for speedo w/ trip meter (all other instruments listed as
"standard")
One spare is "standard"
Add $30.00 for extra spare tire
Add $3.75 for bonnet spare carrier
Add $3.28 per flyscreen
Deluxe interior trim "standard"
Rear seats "standard"
Add $1.50 for locking fuel cap
All for a grand total of $2,543.06 not including dealer fees, taxes,
license, etc...
Amounts listed in US funds and for the Series II.
Whai I have is the Dealer's North American price list which consists of
approximately 10 pages of tables. If anyone wants a copy I'll be happy to
provide that - just email your postal address.
