Some fabulous clippings there mate, where did you find them? Some good positive reviews too by the look of it, that's a great headline "Old faithful that belies its age" - nowadays most people seem to have the impression that the car was slated in every review, but if they take the trouble to look at the contemporary press reports the opposite is true and the Marina fared very well in most of them.
Those were the days eh? Choice of colours in most versions, and a "Selection of Good Used Marinas" Cor, back then there seemed to BL dealerships everywhere. Great post :)

the marina was just as good as everything else in it day, Top gear followers should check the first before they start say the marina was rubbish.as you saying every car is rubbish in 1970s as they were all built very simlar.
