Marina spotted in Worthing west Sussex!!!!!!!!!

Post by JubileeNut » Sun Jun 09, 2019 10:35 pm

Hi All,
Does anyone know who owns a light Green Marina, I think MK2 seen at 9:50am today (Sunday 9th June) going North from Thomas a Becket traffic light cross roads? BN14 post code.
Looked in good condition but I only got a short look in the rear view mirror of my daily car as I turn off left. My wife could not get the words out fast enough to tell me where it was.

Not seen it in Worthing before and if it was an hour and a half later I would have been right behind in my Jubilee.

I was so surprised to see another Marina in Worthing.
Cheers,
Paul.

I get glimpses of Marinas now and then, like seeing a ghost or a UFO "Did you see that?" :lol: I saw a white coupe in Swansea last year coming out of ASDA, looked mint. If I was in PTH he would have seen me but I was in my mate's van that day so I never did find out who it was. I seen a blue mk2 saloon in Bristol a few years ago with a silver Ital back door. I was in the petrol station and it passed as I was walking back to the van. The last one I seen was a few months back, a Vermilion estate travelling eastward up the M4 around Bridgend as I was passing the other side in PTH.

The Vermillion estate lives in Neath.

I feel I know who owns the green one in Worthing but I can’t think who at the moment.

I had some weirdo knock on my mate's door all excited because he'd seen my Marina outside...

I've only ever seen one in the wild that doesn't belong to the aforementioned weirdo (hi Ian) or isn't on it's way to/ from a show the club is attending, which was a white estate somewhere near Sidmouth.
