The official answer (UK National Statistics) appears at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/ukin_figs/data_economy.asp
This suggests that to convert from 1930 prices to 1998 prices you multiply by 370 (or probably about 390 to yet 2000 prices).
This gives you 2d x 390= 780d/12 = 65 shillings or £3/5/0 or £3.25 (in today's money)
