Wow, seeing these photos again certainly brings back some lovely memories, my daughter navigated for me travelling down to Abingdon. She was 9 years old then - she's 23 now!
It was a fantastic weekend, one of the best of my 20 years of membership of the club!

Well, I was driving along in my work Peugeot E Expert today and in the opposite direction crawling along in traffic near Hunters Bar, Sheffield was a beautiful gold A reg Ital. From a fleeting glance it looked to be in very nice condition indeed, does in belong to anyone on hear?

Really cool shots there Glen, I'll look out for that film. What a fab garage too with those wonderful old pumps. Looks like Bedouin, and Black Tulip coupes there. Sid James had a Bedouin coupe in Carry On at Your Convenience too.

Hi Josh, yes I'll still keep up with things on here, see what you're all up to. I'm still interested in Marinas and all aspects of BMC, BL/MG Rover history after all.

Thanks Paul.
Well they have been bought by a scrap man, but he only scraps your ordinary everyday stuff. For example he owns five MK1 Escorts! Two Mk1 Escort Vans, a MK1 Granada Ghia 3.0 Coupe, and a MK1 Transit! Along with various other classics. He actually called round at my house years ago ...

Well with a heavy heart my 20 year journey with my Morris Marinas has come to a conclusion. Both coupe and saloon have been sold and disappeared down the road on transporters.
I've had amazing times with them, driven them over a hundred thousand miles as everyday family transport, the way they were ...

Picture from today from an FB page. Seen in Eastbourne, must be the same car. Reg no. Showing. Someone has dinged the bumper.

Check out the sporty Anglebox

Great post. Wish they could make me a new one now!

Nice, Looks in good condition.

Some cool equipment there Bryan, love the Tune Master and the Battery Tester
Condolences to your family Bryan.
It can be a tough task sorting through a loved one's things can't it.

Cool.

Three nice cars there Bryan, 1.3 saloon looks nice, not sure about those ratings though!

£82!!! Crikey, not so long ago they were £48! That's inflation for you!

Cool. Ahh, yes I recall the excellent headlamp panel fabrication, but forgot about the later pics of the Dolomite and M reg saloon. Thanks Matt.
