History

The Morris Marina were manufactured by Leyland Australia from 1971 to 1972.
This version was manufactured at Zetland as an interium model car based on the British Marina.
The early cars were only available in 4 cylinder models with a 1500 and 1750 cc OHC engine version.

When Leyland Australia finished they had built a six cylinder 2623cc OHC powered production car as well as continuing with the 4 cylinder 1750 cc OHC engine range.
Leyland was also looking at putting in a V6 engine based on the V8 used in the P76.
