    It’s from Britain. A Guinea is an old monetary unit, of a pound and a shilling (from the old pre decimal days before 1970 – It would be £1.05 in today’s money) It was traditionally used in horse dealing.. My theory as to why Honda used it here is possibly because the C102’s price in pounds would have broken the £100 barrier, so look like less of a bargain on the ads. (it was unusual but not unknown to price vehicles in Guineas by the 1960s, but was common in the early 20th century)
