Leyland Marina 1750.jpg

Leyland Marina. 1972–5 (prod. unknown). 2-door coupé, 4-door sedan, 2-door panel van. F/R, 1485, 1748 cm³ (4 cyl. OHC), 2623 cm³ (6 cyl. OHC). E-series Austin Maxi engines powered Australian Marina, plus six-cylinder 2·6 used to challenge local Ford Cortina TC and Holden Torana. As a vehicle, the bid failed: take a worse car and make the front end even heavier. Marina, however, allowed Leyland Australia to field a relatively full range from Mini at bottom end to P76 at top, if only for a brief period. A replacement was planned (P82) but it never saw the light of day. Production shifted to South Africa after Leyland Australia’s collapse in 1975.


Manufacturing locations: Zetland, NSW, Australia; Cape Town, South Africa
