Marina Suspension
Question
- From: "Carle Gregory"
- Date: Sat, 02 Oct 2004
- Hi
- I was talking to a bloke named paul the other day and he said that the marina had factory fitted telescopic shock conversions, I was wondering if the ones on your '72 model where them or ones of your conception?
- Cheers

- Adrian,
- As far as I can recall the advanced model group worked on a double wishbone front end with telescopic shocks but they did not go to production.
- I will try to think of the name of the guy doing the job.
- What they should have done was adopt a Macpherson strut top end (sans
- spring) to the existing torsion bar - I think Porsche use/d this
- design.
- This would have cured the Marinas handling probs.
- Regards,
- Stuart.
- Hi,
- no marina had factory fitted telescopic shock absorbers theses were
- created by pedders suspension in the seventies due to the huge number
- of customers complaing about poor road holding and handling
- the factory story is 100% a myth
- regards
- Andrew
