Although this isn't strictly Minor related, I thought I would share this on here, as there are a few Morris models mentioned!
It would be interesting to see how the Minor's figures would look compared to these! I am sure we would do fairly well!

Quite a few MMOC members have 1275 Marina engines, just not in Marinas.
I firmly believe that some Allegros should be preserved for posterity, but by someone else

The marina 1275 is great in my traveller and even better with the Sierra 5 speed gearbox.

I think most ended on the banger track. I know as there used to be a banger track a mile away from me and another about ten miles away and there was a lot of Cortina's, Jags, and even Morris Minors ended their days on the track even a few of mine and my dads cars ended up on the track. They were all beyond economic repair as they were totally rotten.
