dsl ◊ 2021-04-17 01:17	We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided MORRIS MARINA GT 1977 Registration number: YHO 946R Body type: 2 Door Saloon Colour: Red Date of first registration: March 1977 GT "saloon" was replacement for TC Coupe in Mk2 facelift; TC 4-door saloon became HL saloon. GT looks fairly ordinary from front, but there was warpaint tapes on side and rear - example 1 and example 2. The MGB GT above is interesting - gold stripe on green was 1975 Jubilee edition - 751 made for UK market for MG 50th anniversary (officially 750 were made, but one was destroyed filming a TV commercial, so they made another). Interesting article on this and other examples of Leyland's special edition creative magic here, including the Marina GT clone LE Special based on 1.3 with lots of jewellery.
