[Doctor Gollum]

You make that sound like a bad thing...

[Viral_Jim]

You make that sound like a bad thing...

Selling over-priced tat to an unsuspecting public....



Until they knocked it down and built some shops 

[2boxerdogs]

Had a 1980 V reg Marina 1.7 estate, replaced a MK3 Cortina  2000E estate the Ford is probably the worst car I have ever owned, rusted rapidly & filled up with water every time it rained. The Marina was actually very reliable swopped it for a LWB Nissan Patrol when we moved to Norfolk.

[Doctor Gollum]

No accounting for taste

[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.

My Marina got quite damp due to a nurse I was "helping out" at the time, very supple young lady. 😋😋😋

  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!

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

Not owned a TR7, Mr EMD. But always lusted after a TR6.

TR7 was a hairdressers car.......and not a proper TR.

Don't waste your money my mate had one 3 years ago looked lovely but  not a lot of grunt, now has a V8 BGT sounds great but oh so slow.

[BazaJT]

Never owned a TR7 nor fancied one.The MGB even in V8 flavour never appealed either.However a Stag could be a machine of interest!
