Richard_FM Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Another item of automotive literature I've recently bought was this brochure from 1978. https://www.flickr.com/photos/richard16378/albums/72157713302799646 I've attached the most interesting pages, but follow the link for more.

I wonder when they were phased out. A nice brochure find by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Australian-spec Marinas used E-series engines, both 1.5L & 1.8L variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspiral_Mondays Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The Maxi HL in that brochure seems to have a wooden dash. My dad had a T reg Maxi HL and it had a black plastic dash, one of the distinguishing features compared to his previous 1750. It also had a kind of cone thing on the end of the exhaust which isn‘t on that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
