Hi everyone I went to a local car show today & I didn't expect to see a Marina there as mine is off the road, Balmy is TTing it on the Isle of Man & Fruity was busing it to Heathrow, well I was surprised to see this :-)

Ford engine at least top end with Morris rocker cover in a Morris Minor? Makes it interesting.

Does look smart now, wish I'd been quicker off the mark when the previous previous seller dropped the price!

That estate has had the door mirrors mounted in the wrong place...
