1973 Marina Super

: 1973 Leyland Marina 1750 Super


: Rescued from a shed about 18 months ago, this 1750 is in excellent condition.


: - Head overhauled (blasted; valves and shims overhauled; repainted) - see OZ Marina "Tony Canberra" for pictures of the recommissioning.
: - Interior excellent; even the back of the rear seat isn't cracked! The carpet isn't perfect though.
: - New tyres all round
: - Fresh Repco battery
: - Drives very well

: Currently has rough running when cold - Vacuum prob?

: No proof at all, but suspect the 39,000 miles may be the actual mileage

: A few bumps and scratches here and there, but otherwise a VERY sound example.

: Not after silly money - a couple of grand-ish would be fine - and happy to talk.

: We're slimming down the fleet to make way for a brand new car and plans for a house!

: Rego expired but not long enough ago that I can't just make a call and have a few months put on it. Such is the A.C.T. rego system!

: Cheers,

: Tony Newell

Hello All,

: With the uncontrollable enthusiasm of an expectant father, I must share with you all some photos of my 1973 Marina Super which is about to be re-registered after a 24 year lay-off.
: I bought the car in January this year and have changed the head gasket whilst getting the head rebuilt by a local engine-shop.
: I've had to do a range of little jobs and the costs have steadily and sneakily crept up but the satisfaction is immense.
: Hearing it running for the first time yesterday was worth more than the price of admission!

: Anyway, thanks for listening/looking! Hope you're all getting as much joy out of your cars!

: Cheers,

: Tony.
