The brochure cover you clicked on to get here features a speeding red saloon car and was produced back in 1978.  Inside are plenty of photos of this red car and also a rather incongruous two page feature on the C111 experimental car.  This was a diesel engined car and boasted a top speed of 203 mph.  It was fitted with a five cylinder three litre engine, "basically the same as in the 300D".

The most amusing picture in the brochure though is the one below featuring the two skiers.  She looks like she's just won the lottery jackpot and he looks like he's just missed winning a tenner !
