The Marina was launched on the domestic market on 27 April 1971, with a night shift added at the Cowley plant in May 1971. The manufacturers reported they were producing 2,000 cars per week, projecting over optimistically to increase this to 5,000 per week by the end of 1971. Eleven months after launch, on 29 March 1972, the 100,000th Marina, a 1.8TC, emerged from the Cowley plant. An estate came in 1972, eighteen months after the saloon and coupe. Its model years run from 1971 to 1975.
