With great respect, '142 Guy', UK market cars were not so equipped.
We had 3, a '72 145E, a '72 145DL, another DL from a year later, as well as a '72 144DL saloon. None were fitted with rear seat belts, either 3-point or lap, as standard. I did however have 2 x 3-point static belts fitted to the rear seat of my 144 after visitors from Sweden declined to ride in it without them.
As I mentioned in an earlier post on this subject, mounting points were provided, thus making retro fitting a relatively simple and straight-forward operation. Perhaps legislation in North American / Canadian markets at the time required them to be fitted as standard?
Regards, John.
