Wow! The worst car ever finally here! Thank you, honestly. Good pictures of Marinas are hard to find.
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
I had absolutely no idea that you could option one without a piano on the roof!
edit- wrong clip. More Marinas in this one.

I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
It's not THAT bad, is it #2
I think top gear has proven its junk
Current - 2005 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 GLS
Current - 1998 Honda Civic 160i Luxline
Even Hugo is back. This is really the end of the world, isn't it?
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
The Morris Marina is a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive small family car that was manufactured by the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland from 1971 until 1980. It served to replace the Morris Minor in the Morris product line, which had first been built in 1948. The Marina was also sold in some markets as the Austin Marina, the Leyland Marina and the Morris 1700.
It was a popular car in Britain throughout its production life, beating its main rival, the Ford Escort, to second place in UK car sales in 1973 and taking third or fourth place (behind the Escort) in other years. The car was exported throughout the world, including North America, and assembled in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Malaysia. A total of 1.2 million were built.
According to various sources, the Marina ranks among the worst cars ever built.
The 1980 replacement for the Marina, the Ital, was the same car with only mild styling changes. It was only fully replaced by the Austin Maestro in 1983.
British Leyland sold the Marina alongside the 1969 Austin Maxi, which shared the same market segment but used front-wheel-drive and had a hatchback body, and the 1973 Austin Allegro, which used front-wheel-drive and more adventurous styling.
