Brompton Price 1997

[StefanL]

Hello,

I own a Brompton build in 1997. To be able to use the bike as a company bike in The Netherlands I need to know the retail price when it was first sold. I bought it second hand from the second owner so I have no receipts and Brompton's customer service cannot help me with this strange question. So hopefully someone here knows the price or has an old sales catalog with prices. The cheapest model (single speed without extra's probably) is fine
Who can help me out or knows someone I can contact?

Best,

Stefan

There is an "older brompton bicycles" facebook group. Scroll down a bit, someone has posted a picture of a 1996 Brompton advert which says "from £309". (Sorry the system won't let me give you a link due to adblocker.)

I've managed to copy the photo though. With due acknowledgements to user Gavin Gardiner from the facebook group. Price in very small writing at the bottom!

A 1997 L3 was $631 USA per Bikepedia https://www.bikepedia.com/Quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?item=60024

Got to love the pre-web "Information from..." address!
