what do you chaps think?

The rear window louvres appear to be some type of cheap copy of the Autoplas ones, as seen on many a cool 1970s Capri or whatever! I'm actually excited.

i had a tidy pony, until my dad sold it...

I suppose why not, that first gen Pony looks quite similar to the Austin Princess and some people like them nowadays as well...

Maybe a Pony would break down less frequently than the BL equivalent??

I'm at my happiest when my car is one that nobody else actually likes, so all of this fondness for the forgotten Hyundai makes me stop liking it as much.
I see some resemblance to the Princess around the rump, but I reckon that there is a BL product out there which far more closely resembles the Pony:



That Leyland Marina - from Australia - looks even more like some sort of Asian car of the period than our UK Morris badged one did, possibly because of its Datsun lookalike frontal aspect, I hadn't seen one of these until just now, when that one appeared on the first few rows of images found in a web search for Marina Coupés.
GHT will undoubtedly be overjoyed to know of the car's existence!

ISTR that marinas in Australia had the option of being fitted with the E-Series OHC six pot. I bet they handled well.......

It doesn't matter how you package it, a Marina is a Marina is:

You're right John, its of course the Morris Marina I was thinking of when seeing the resemblance with the Pony!
