The Minolta Himatic 7S11 has a sharp 40mm f1.7 six element lens and has manual control in addition to automatic exposure.
In 1980 it was selling in the UK for £89 and the black version for £10 more when the average weekly wage was £115.
Today a mint chrome 7S11 can fetch £200+ but a black one commands at least £300.
With inflation this camera new would be £378 today.
The grip I made from 6mm brass plate, a plastic lathe handle from ebay and anodised alloy 8mm washer to match the soft shutter release. It makes a small camera much easier to hold.
