Fantastic! That looks like a familiar site mate. But I didn't find a Marina only a TR6 in my garage and it was covered in a lot of hedge! =)

I will post pics as soon as she is out.

I think this one might have a couple of rust issues too, but doesnt look nearly as bad as the red one.

Josh, if you want this one its all yours, just bring yourself a big suitcase!

If you polished it would it come up Black or Black Tulip or Teal Blue or what?

It looks like it could be Cosmic blue, which is what my car was originally (although it was a generic blue when I got it) but i'm not sure if this was a colour option for '73 (Only '73 Austin Marinas had the thin bumpers).

As soon as she is out I will try and find a clean patch of paintwork to see.
