i did a TR 7 5 speed (LT77) matched up to a 1850 Dolimite engine in a MK1
but i think it would go close to bolting up to the OHC 1750.
only trouble i had was the cross section of the LT77 was oval and i had to cut the floor
to get it in

boy it sure look like it has an identity crisis :-? ;)
the colour and rocker cover are from the 1974 aussie cars but the
master cylinders, booster radiator and body are from the 1972 aussie cars
the horn is after market, as it should be installed under the battery tray.
you have a red circle on ...

i would suggest a NZ car maybe from aussie parts, aussie car did indeed have YH----- or 024/5
stamped into the body near the battery, this weird sort of numbering suggests NZ

counting mine there are only 2 auto TC's that i know of out of 6 TC's i know about, although one of these
is a converted auto to manual

i am selling the 6yl and have a bloke who will take it and i have yet to get to work
on the TC, i need a battery to get it going again, hopefully (fingers crossed) that
it will be on the road again later this year.

sometimes i miss that car, it is residing in Oberon NSW
the hill climb is 965metres long and is a 1in 5 ascent, steeper than Bahturst at 1 in 6.
hard enough to walk around

i havent got a photo of my first Marina but i have for the rest of them

would the third Marina be an Australian TC?

i think IMHO you will find that the 'E' series is not a Siamese bore,
a Maxi gasket will fit HOWEVER it depends on which Marina engine you have!
the early Morris types are basically a Maxi engine modified by Leyland Australia to fit
but from approx the middle of 1973 they started to change the block ...

i love the full wood dash...very nice

yep Dazza means the Mk 2 wrap around type

try to get the HL (i think) as it has the tacho dash

Kilroy i can sympathize with the familiarity with pain bit.
take care not to aggravate it more, alcohol will help but i have to face
that an aging body as young as mine is, is a bugger
2 lots of arthritis with tendonitis, fatigue and anemia is catching up.
anyway get well ASAP and back on the ...

aahh Amaroo Park, the old AMSCAR series also the PRO-AM series with one make of car (TR 7, Laser, Renault 12 etc)
my first experience of Appendage J was at Lakeside many years ago, my wife couldn't believe what the Mini's where doing to the
big Chev Impala, it took the Chev over 5 laps to finally ...

Triumph MK 2 sedans had a tank between the rear seats you could try that
