I remember seeing an Elan in the cars for sale section of my local paper in the early/mid 70s, I rang my insurance broker for a quote and after checking my date of birth, I was late teens, he actually laughed

Did you get to see the boot badge? W114 were the six-cylinder variant; W115 were the smaller-engined four-pots.It's certainly tidier than the W114 coupe I saw, locally, a year ago (link to my post).

Just seen a dark green 1.8i Citroen ZX driving in Guidford (Surrey). Looked like it could still be in use as someone's local daily driver judging by the battle scars and peeling paint, unless it's actually in the very early stages of a restoration project! Didn't catch the reg but it was the...

I agree. My father had a 1977 Marina saloon and it always seened smaller cabin space than the Ford Cortina. I used to see many Cortina estates Mk3 + Mk4. Marina estates were, as you say, less common.
