You're absolutely right. Mrs. Peel drove the Elan, while her blonde
replacement (Tara?) that drove the MGB in The _New_ Avengers. The New
Avengers had also a male sidekick (who cares?) that drove a Jag XJ-S.
BTW, I don't think Mrs. Peel's cat suits were leather, but of course I
was much too involved in the plots to look closely (ahem!). Fortunately,
Steed's Bentley and Mrs. Peel were rarely in the same shot, so drooling
could be limited to one object of desire at a time.
