Spot on guessing my friend, how can you tell? :D
Is because the Yellow devil is Bold As Brass?

Us rivet counters :oops: can tell by the wheels - the Aussies (including TCs) have black-on-steel hubcaps, very different to the English hubcaps and TC wheels. :)

usually Yellow Devil is the Morris colour and Bold As Brass is the Leyland colour but if it is a mid year '73 it could be a cross over to the Leyland before the 6cyl came in.
hubcaps..... the Morris ones had a grey metalised finish in the middle and the Leyland ones had the black middle
locost_bryan in the photo on your last post is that an Arianca Tan Aussie T.C.?

Good question. Ben may be able to find out from Gordon. Is the paint code on any of the chassis or ID plates?

PAINT ID ARIANCA TAN HK5167 (13785)

It's an Aussie TC, but I don't know whether it was painted and assembled in Aussie or NZ. If the latter, I don't know whether they used Aussie or UK colours in the NZ factory.

Hi!

Have a look around the forums for a while now and it´s time that I show me. I bought the Marina from the Vastmanland Blocket last year in May 11. Has for about 30 years ago owned a exactly the same and that I unfortunately trashed. Undid me and always wanted to have one again. Then found this on ad and bought it at a good price. Been shut down since november 2007. Have fixed with miscellaneous rust, replacing the slave cylinder for the clutch ... Inspected in September 27, 2011 with a little note. Drove the car in the fall without a problem, has now in the days started to run it again, which is really fun. Make own thread later with pictures wen i fix the car. Below some pictures when I look at the car.

Why is the registration number on the car in the advert familiar.
