No; that's when they were made a legal requirement for new cars. They'd been an option for about six years, and a very popular one too, used as an aftermarket upgrade on many older cars. Or in my dad's case, on his 1967 Cortina mere months after he bought it new. By the time J-suffix arrived in 1970 having black plates marked you as a Scrooge, fifth dan. Or a major corporate client such as Royal Mail.

They did put a version of the PRV V6 in the Tagora, but not many were made - not sure we ever had them in the UK.

That’s pretty terrible even for two strokes. What’s the mix 1:1?

GLM 37C and DC7 were the same car. [Thought the film car probably had a made-up plate put on for the filming]
Explained here:

The personal plate DC7 still in use on another car.

The southern hemisphere is a hotbed for odd badge engineered cars!

Donald Campbell's house I presume. The E-Type was his.
The vehicle on the right is a prototype land speed car, Bluebird Mach 1.1 (CMN-8) he was developing at the time of his death in the Bluebird watercraft.
Really the bravest of the brave. The new Bluebird had a designed top speed of 800mph+.
I've seen the middle land speed car close-to. Amazing thing.

I spotted one of these hill-climb modded 3-series BMWs a few months back. When I first saw it I thought it was bodged up but it seems to be a thing.
Car in your pic appears to be piloted by Brian Badonde (a character from TV series called Facejacker)

I'm not sure if that was the car she asked for in Santa Baby!
