Re: Barn find
Hi Jon,
I contacted you on Facebook a few days ago. As I said I would definitely give this a good home. If you can find out some details please that would be fantastic!

Re: Barn find
Hmm, no further news on this one?
Re: Barn find
Sadly not. The original poster got me the address. House has now sold, I have sent a letter but not heard anything back. It was registered April 71 and the first batches of cars built were Bedouin 1.3 DL coupes like this so it is probably older than the earliest confirmed survivor by some way.

Re: Barn find
That's frustrating Josh. Amazing what unknown cars keep turning up though isn't it?
Re: Barn find
Yes they're still out there! Sadly not much more I can do really. Horrible thinking what was probably one of the first Marinas built could be on it's way to the scrappy as we speak!

Re: Barn find
Looks like this will be coming to the home for early Marinas after all

Re: Barn find
Yep the owners gave me a call today. Garage has collapsed onto it so not holding out much hope... if it's really bad and really early I will see if I can donate it to Gaydon. Obviously would like to restore it but with my day job museum/conservation hat on it will no longer be one of the very first built if restored. Assuming it is that early of course...!

Re: Barn find
Brilliant I was hoping they would get back to you on this, well done. If you don't have the time to restore it I have the space anyway, can't wait to see some pics of her in the open
