Yes - not many early ones about at all! There was a 1978 "Black Beauty" around a few years ago, but I've not seen that for a long time. It was in fairly decent shape, though, so hopefully it has survived. I'm struggling to remember seeing any other pre-80 cars for years, except Sion's 76 in that video.
You may well be right. I believe there was a phenomenon of people buying 300s as second cars, with a larger Volvo as the primary car in the household. Of course a 700-series model really isn't that big (or, even moreso, heavy!) nowadays. They have a reputation for being tank-like, but a modern VW Golf is heavier than my 740 Turbo saloon.
There is a thread in Support where you can request an increase in your post-count to bypass that rule, but I suspect you're nearly there anyway!
cheers
