You will note that in those 12 months or so, prices increased by about 40%. In 1973/74 prices were changing practically every month.

Inflation peaked up at 26% and the country was in “managed decline”, so whilst money fell in international value so car (and other collectable) prices soared as a hedge against the situation. Ultimately they halved overnight when things began to stabilise.

An awful lot of people made large amounts for a time until things began to stabilise.
