Question Re: Changing the throw away culture BBC News today.

Remember the Philips G6 CTV? When first released in 1967, retail price was £341. That sum of money at today's prices is equivalent to £6,036. (I used several on-line inflation calculators to obtain that data).
At that price and at today's labour charges etc., surely a repair would be economical?
Late last year, for just under £6,000, we bought a low mileage, one previous owner, Astra 1.6 SRi motor car.
