One of the problems people don't realise with older cars, is that the fitting of seat belts was an afterthought. For example, I find the seat belt uncomfortable in my car, partly because its a pillarless coupé and the shoulder point is low, and far back. I think they gave it a bit more thought in the W123 coupés. I wish I didn't have to wear it..... I guess in a 1966 car it has static 3 point belts?
