True, a direct competitor of the time, the Mk1 Cavalier would do that very well and stick to the road too. Another competitor, the Mk4/5 Cortina, would follow the Cavalier closely unless it was wet, in which case it would create its own route through the scenery.
Both cars considerably lighter and lower than the 240 but oddly the 240 would follow the Cavalier more closely just with more body roll so would have seasick passengers..............
