The main competitor for the Morris Marina was the Ford Cortina Mk3, seen here at The Great British Car Journey. The Marina seemed to be benchmarked off the earlier Cortina Mk2 in terms of size and spec but ended up facing the larger Mk3, which had OHC engine options, a fancier coil-sprung rear axle and double-wishbone front suspension, while the Marina still had its ancient Minor-derived leaf-sprung rear and outdated lever damper set-up at the front.
