In 1989, I priced up all the parts needed to build an MGB GT, and stopped when the total passed £25,000. You could buy a very tidy example for £8,000 at the time.

Some years before that, I priced up the components to build an HW77, and seem to remember it being about four times the price pf a new rifle.
