The Marina Van came in two different weight capacities, the heavier-duty one had the Triumph/MGB 4.5" PCD hubs...I had two Pickups with that setup on, both wore Stag alloys.
The lighter duty model had standard Marina running gear so could run GT6 or Dolly Sprint rims.

How were the Stag alloys for fit on the Marina? (Actually, thinking on that, I've seen a Stag locally on R800 rims.....Hmmmmm)
DON't try and fit Sprint alloys onto the front of a Marina - the offset is so bad it completely f's up the suspension geometry worse than Leyland managed (I know through experience!)

Really glad to see the Gas Van is safe....that van is a legend!

Well this WAS 1991.......but
I seem to remember they were OK despite running gumball 185/70x14's on it all round, which killed some of the oversteer/understeer (when I bought it it had rusty chrome 8-spokes with some 155x13 remoulds on it, and it was utterly lethal wet or dry....at least I only worried when it was wet with the Stag rims on ;D). I think I used MGB chrome wheelnuts, but it's a while ago so I might be wrong.
