[Sir Tigger KC]

See? That's 2 of us on this thread that liked our Marinas! 

Hard to imagine any girlies of the time getting excited by a Marina TC. I suppose you told them it had the same engine as the MGB.

That might possibly have worked.

........Oooooh Sharon, I hear that Tigger fella owns a yellow Marina  with twin carbs. My knickers have suddenly become all damp.

  Opti!!

But seriously when I saw a Marina I did wet my knickers..............after laughing so much at such an unfashionable car!

I wouldn't, and still wouldn't be seen in one.  At 19 they were such a joke belonging to "old" people. Now at xx I just wouldn't feel safe!

You just never met the right bloke with a Marina Lizzie!   

I was 19 and had a lot of fun in my Marina.  The girlies never seemed shy at climbing in with me!

Anyone owned a TR7 on here ? Interested to hear of your views on it 

Sorry never owned a TR7.  Owned TR2, TR3a, TR4, TR6 and still got a TR4A.  Having driven a few TR7s, they cannot be considered a proper TR - no poke in comparison, considered a "hairdressers car".  They also rot like b*ggery.

There was only one car worth buying in the mid/late '70s...

This...

Only car I regret not buying when the opportunity presented itself in 1996 albeit not this exact car...

Lovely cars! Although the linked example is a bit....brown for my taste.

Agreed, personal preference is dark metallic blue or gunmetal with biscuit or cream leather

That said it wouldn't be a seventies thread without some Havana Brown and Russet

Too much info Sir Tigger!

Nice.....but the 'cold war' 300 SEL 6.3 was faster and had more East German spy appeal.

Yup, definitely the combo that's aged the best. I'm also a fan of the metallic reds of the time and that "sky" blue that I've seen on a couple. Cars these days do all seem to be 50 shades of dull.
