CRAN & Freewheel
Your comments regarding historical R22 pricing prompted me to dig out the original invoice for my first R22 which was invoiced to me in December 1988 at $103,550 ex works.
The price list, dated August 1987, that came with the sales material shows the list price at $91,850 to which I added the auxiliary fuel tank, heater, removable dual controls, fire extinguisher, vertical compass, millibar altimeter, transponder, and VOR.
From $40,00 to almost $92,000 in eight years.
The same sales literature also listed the base price of the 300c at $132,000 and the 280F at $159,400 for comparison.
