I'm not sure why we are seeing this, but I'm impressed by the lack of ferrous oxide!

Re: Leyland Marina panel differences
Very interesting stuff, they must have been worried about the weight of the Red 6 engine, as this would brace the top of the inner wing, it would also cover the rust trap behind where the bonnet hinges are.
Re: Leyland Marina panel differences
I believe the weight of 6 is less than B engine. A little bit more over hang from towers.
I have noticed that when the panel van is lifted with a crane through the front tow eyes there is flex between front guard & front door.
It was not evident when the same thing was performed on my V8.

Larger tunnel to take the Borg Warner 3-speed manual box. iirc steering rack raised 30mm as a result, with different steering arms on stronger redesigned uprights.

Re: Leyland Marina panel differences
Looks like everything was welded in by hand rather than spot welded. Interesting stuff
Re: Leyland Marina panel differences
There is some welding done on the standard car plus the usual spot welds. This car has had some more added for strength. I think the steering arms were Kimberley or Tasman.
