Interesting. Is this the car that replaced the Marina?

My Dad had one of these here in the US. It was badged as an Austin though. He had the 2 door GT with a manual transmission. He had an issue with the transmission early on but it was fixed and he enjoyed the car. He lived in Texas so rust wasn't an issue. It wasn't the worst car he ever had (a '73 Vega took that honor) but it wasn't the best. He said it was actually fairly fun to drive though and the British Leyland dealer was much more willing to make a deal than the local Honda dealer would at the time.

I read somewhere that the Austin Allegro was brought out to compete with the Marina, which seems a bit silly as they were both British Leyland. I also remember the Austin Ital which basically just a revamped Marina.
