Pretty sure I know it's history: rushed into production by a company with no spare money for development. Was way behind its peers when launched.

This example was bought new by a retired fellow who had always bought Morris products. Was driven about 5,000 miles a year until his death whereupon it was locked away in the garage until his widows death. It was then put on eBay by the family when it was bought by a 'dealer' who got it running, tarted it up and then tried to sell at a vast profit but with no takers. It was eventually sold to an enthusiast, way below the original price.

Am I close?
So you were paying attention to my vacuous ramblings! :lol: You only missed out the bit about the auctioneers who passed it off as the best thing since linseed oil bread, quark, non-dairy milk substitute and condoms made from recycled Andrex.

I like Marinas - like so many everyday cars they were everywhere then just faded away.
I've got about 70% of its history. Still piecing the rest of it together.
