Nice to see that free really does mean free - and also to see that they've both gone to a good home.

Certainly have!

Scragnut, I am assuming that CVC 410T was a 1300 LE Coupe? My Grandads LE was CVC 101T! We are still hunting for her!

Ben
CVC 410T was a MK3 1300L in Harvest Gold Metalic with a Brown Vinyl roof - it was my first car bought in 1985 for Ã‚Â£900 just before I passed my driving test (Marina tales to follow.....there are many) I kept it 'til '89 when I traded it in. I'd just like to know if it's still around - it'd be nice if it was.
I still love the Marina so it's nice to know there's guys around like you that are keeping them alive - well done again for saving these two.
Wouldn't mind another decent Marina at some point in the not too distant future (always wanted a TC but then didn't everyone?)

Ahh! Just seemed so close I thought it may have been an LE! I checked with the DVLA and it appears that once you sold it '89 it never got re taxed.. Similar story to my Granddads.

VERY nice find there, and all for free :shock:
Another 2 saved

Thanks for the heads up.
I saw it once not long after I traded it - it was in Loughborough so I hoped it was still around. Doesn't look like it though does it - unless someone's got it tucked away somewhere (some hope!). Oh well, anyone got a MK3 they no longer want?
