new sri 130 £700...

[smc]

i recently read in an old copy of"motor" (18/4/1987 road test) that a new sri 130 was only£700 more expensive than it's running mate 1.8 sri. surely this would suggest that the 130 was,not only better value but also if you want to drive a rare sri,you should think about the 1.8 or even 2.0 se 87/88models. with vauxhall producing 12000 sri models / year,130s should be quite common. any ideas
