wasn't the Ital an evolution of the Marina? which was basically a rebodied Oxford from the `50s? lever arm shocks, leaf springs and wheezy OHV cast iron powered FE/RWD units when the competition were running FWD, Coil springs etc etc- giving a better ride for similar money. The unions were mainly responsible for Morris' demise but the lack of progress/innovation from the design management didn't exactly help either!

The unions were mainly responsible for Morris' demise but the lack of progress/innovation from the design management didn't exactly help either!The extraordinary thing was that the Marina wasn't a rebodied Oxford (or Minor). It was a brand new platform. It would have been a significantly better-handling car if they had just dropped a modern body on the Minor or S2/S3 Oxford platform, because they handle perfectly well for a bread-and-butter car of the time. It's a classic case of BMC anarchic lunatics-running-the-asylum management - they needed a Cortina-equivalent as quickly and cheaply as possible, so it had to use major bits of the parts bin (Morris Minor front suspension and steering, Midget A-Series, MGB B-Series, Triumph Toledo gearbox and rear axle). Then they found out that the tooling for the Minor's front suspension was worn out, but by then they had collective tunnel vision about "using Minor bits to save money" and so commissioned fresh tooling for a suspension system from the 1940s. This tunnel vision was also because the idea of a modernised Minor had been kicking around at BMC since the mid-1960s, but hadn't been able to get past Issigonis and his devotees in management. The Marina project was kickstarted by incoming Leyland management (and new design and technical staff poached from Ford) after the creation of BLMC. But because the starting point was this pre-merger Minor-based idea, no one seemed to have noticed that they now had in their corporate parts bin a much more modern small saloon platform with coil springs all-round and Macpherson struts in the form of the Triumph Toledo, which was under 'development' (adaptation, more like) at the time. Except that cl
