I know a bloke who has spent most of this year welding up the one he's used for work for as long as I can remember.


I wonder how many are left?

Wow look at that!  8)  :)

Identical to my Dad's Marina pickup that I passed my driving test in.  :y

I used to tell the girls that I had a 'little two seater' that I could take them home in, but their enthusiasm seemed to wane a little when they clapped eyes on my Dad's scruffy pick up for some reason....  :-\

I would have thought that would be exactly what a Darzet girl would imagine to be a little two seater.  ;D

I see it is appropriately finished in BRG to show of it's racing heritage and fine handling. :)

They were dire enough handling as a car. God knows what it was like with the back end full of rubble. I bet you'd lose your load* on every roundabout.


* - No, not that kind of load. :o

I imagine the inept handling of the Marina could result in terminal bowel excavation, thus lightening the load in a different way. :)

Fecal impaction is easily overcome once the Marina runs out of grip. :)

When I was 19 I had nerves of steel, so whipping a Marina around the lanes of East Devon and West Dorset at ridiculous speeds was just normal, so there were no fecal accidents.  :y

30 odd years later it seems slightly unhinged though....  :-\  ;D

We're just jealous because only the lucky few get to own an iconic car like a Marina. :)
