By quoting in guineas they make them sound like race horses and looking at the prices they're about right! The Pye is going for 24 gns (or £25/4/-; or £25.20). In 1959, my grandparents bought their 3 bed semi-detached house for £500 and my dad was earning 18/6 per week (92.5p) doing his National Service.

They were a king's ransom - no wonder they quoted them in guineas.
