The best I can do from a very quick Google is this article,
http://www.startline.org.uk/slol48/fforigins.htm
Which suggests that a season in F Ford in 1984 cost about £30k. And an on line calculator tells me that 1984 £30k is the equivelant of £91k in 2017.
Average house prices in 1984 were £29k . I can't find a figure for average wages but I'd guess it was about £13k?
