There's one of the top-of-the-range sets in the music video for Paul Young's 'Love Of The Common People' - the one with the family sat around the telly at Christmas (as opposed to the 'live' performance version). Yes, the 3V23 was considered the flagship deck; not properly superseded until the 3V32 came in with its LP heads. Naturally, if you had one of these lovey stereo sets, then the 3V31/32 would be the deck of choice (along with the requisite cabling to achieve stereo playback, of course).
