I Should'nt but i do.
« on: 19 October 2007, 23:24:20 »

This is'nt a favourite car post although mine's the Mk3 'Tina, but a car that you secretly like but would never admit too. Well it's judgement day if you can bear the shame. I'll admit to loving Volvo 740/760 GL/GLE auto estates, dunno why, just like the way they drive.
    I've also got a thing for Marina Vans!!!
       Being honest here so c'mon 'fess up! :D

Had both 740 and 760 (V6 3.0ltr 204 BHP preT5) before getting a Daimler , which was smooth

Real suprise was a Vaux "Viva" HA van.

One of my favourites (backseat was well used !) was a Morris Marina Coupe 1.8 TC



Same 1800 B series BLMC lump as the MGB I later got.. I learned a lot about tuning twin carbs on that motor - very reliable ... and reasonably quick  .. well I was only 20 at the time, and the previous motor was a Ford Consul Mk2 ..now the front bench seat on that could tell some tales that would get me in trouble .....  :)

The Vitesses seemed to be a bit better for some reason at fighting out the tin worm. I still see a couple of them around about here when the weather is nice.

One of my first cars was an Hillman Imp, roll bar also fitted,

Had some fun in that on the yorkshire country roads, driving type of fun that is.

Saw a Capri yesterday, but it was a 1.6 Laser. If you're going to keep an old car and look after it why not start with something better than the base spec with smallest engine?
