UK advertisement announcing the arrival of the RJ 59

Recommended Posts

I was recently sent this ad from a fellow euro member Simon Cole (Landsurveyor) .

It is from a small holder magazine announcing the introduction of the new RJ58/59 to the UK market.

The article is also dated 1959 & shows some nice photographs

The conversion rate was $2.81 per dollar back in 1959. That would make the price about $505.00. I'm sure Neil will correct me if I'm wrong. [emoji1]
