How to distinguish Taxicab and Marathons?
"Taxicab" (A8 / A9 / A11) for fleets.
Less bright on first sight - no side strips, overriders on demand, no wheelcovers or small one, dull aluminium bumpers in 1974+ cars.
"Superba" and "Marathon" (A10/A12) dedicated for private customers.
Richier "jewellery" on first sight - long side chrome strips, "Marathon" side badges, full wheelcovers, overriders and white sidewalls on demand, polished aluminium bumpers in 1974+ cars, more retroreflective elements in tail lights.
