Odometer reading: 24,800 MoT expiry date: 29/09/2021 *Historically significant British Leyland model *Off the road for some 30 years *Re-commissioned in 2014 *Good history file The first new model conceived under the auspices of British Leyland, the Morris Marina replaced the Minor and was aimed at the all-important medium-sized saloon market sector dominated by the Ford Escort and Vauxhall Viva. The work of Harry Webster drafted in from Triumph, the Marina made use of existing BL components in the form of modified Morris Minor front suspension and the A- and B-Series engines, and this conventional mechanical ensemble was clothed in either a four-door saloon or two-door fastback body. An estate version followed and the ageing B-Series engine was replaced by the modern overhead-camshaft O-Series before production ended in 1980. Finished in white with original brown interior, this very nice and highly original Morris Marina four-door saloon has covered a little under 25,000 miles from new. The car was taken off the road in 1982 and not re-commissioned until 2014, hence the limited mileage. Benefiting from a recent professional re-spray in its original colour, the Marina is running and driving very nicely. The car is offered with service history in the form of the original stamped Morris Service Passport; sundry bills; expired MoTs; and previous owner's notes. A unique opportunity.
