It was free. my marina van cost 50 quid, did loads of work, had little maintenance and sold for 300 after a year or two. my marina estate came free and was used for ages, then sold for 400 and I did quite a few repairs over many years for the new owner (that had the OHC engine and was far too fast for the suspension/brakes)
