Re: what to pay for a marina

Hi Trev, the wildly varying prices are like most of the car market, but in general I would say that round about a grand should buy you a very nice marina indeed, dealers will naturally be more expensive as they have overheads and have to offer some sort of warranty, even on an old car. There are ple...

Re: Restore or sell

Bryan, I didn't make clear in my post that the car is in everyday use and reliable, just can't decide which to let go, which to keep! If I put this one to the bodyshop. I will end up changing things and I probably shouldn't do that to a mk 1, car is in excellent condition underneath. My coupe was re...

Re: Restore or sell

Ben, Thanks for your views, I have it booked in at the bodyshop and would really like to see it done. The temptation is to change the colour, wheels ect. Then you probably reduce the interest over leaving it standard. It's a 1.8 auto so I don't think it will be particularly easy to move on anyway. G...

Restore or sell

I have to decide by Friday whether to restore or sell my mk1 saloon, it is basically very solid structurally, needs minor work to rear arches, door skins. Does need a drivers door and bootlid though. Selling it now wouldn't finance finishing the mk 1 coupe, selling it when done may get me a fair bit...

More miles, more troubles!

It appears that the trusty mk1 is about to throw a wobbler. I collected it on Sunday and within 40 miles it split the lower rad hose which I taped up and limped home with. The problem seem to have stemed from a knackered thermostat. I sorted that out and have been running it as a daily this week but...

Re: *** THE £15,000 MARINA ***

I would have put two screws in the 8 and made CAMEL if they were still on the car. I notice PEN 1S was posted up, that plate belongs to or at least used to belong to motorcycle racer now commentator Steve Parrish, he had it on a Mercedes 190 Cosworth in the mid ninetys if I remember rightly
