Morris Marina vs Mk3 Cortina - Ford vs British Leyland 70s Shootout! (1971 1.8 Super/1977 1.6 L)

WIN With Lancaster Insurance: https://bit.ly/3gutwPf
In the 1970s, before Vauxhall threw its hat in the ring with the Cavalier, your family car and fleet rep buyer had just two choices: Ford or British Leyland. In the blue corner, the Mk3 Cortina offered American styling, the new Pinto engine, double-wishbone suspension and more space in an effort to improve comfort and refinement. BL, meanwhile, not discouraged by the AD016 1100’s lack of success with fleet buyers, took the proven mechanicals of the Morris Minor and clothed them in a new Roy Haynes-designed body to create the Marina. Which 1970s saloon is best? Joe and Jeff decided to find out!
