Fast Marina Magazine

Thanks for your input guys,
Sept'74 build. Sat somewhere for 9 months!
Josh, I am assuming you have viewed the car to have the VIN number to hand?

Morning all!
Those that play Facebook might have seen I bought the TC coupe that had been languishing in the Marketplace ads for a good few months.
I have yet to get the car back to Oxfordshire ( but plans are afoot on that score ), so I have kept myself busy mulling over the project, considering ...

Hi there,

That's fantastic, thanks for your help.
Your spare parts may well be of interest too.
I have a good friend who needs similar parts for his car so as and when we visit the car perhaps we could meet you too.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi there, an email address would be great. I can start dialogue with him then at least.
Thanks for your help.

Your special shell needs plenty of love that's for sure.
Do you have any of the trim and bright work saved from the car at all?

Hi enthusiastic youth.

Translating the ad would be great if you could.
I'm keen to chat with the owner about maybe buying, when travel permits me to visit Norway.
Do you know the owner at all?

Your special parts sound interesting. Might help with my Gt resto. Maybe you could send me some pics ...

Hi JubileeNut

No white GT is long since sold and like everyone said at the time, very much missed. Sold it as we were due to move abroad ( which didn't happen in the end) along with Franks Van which I had also.

This last year, since being back in Oxfordshire I have been keen to get a Marina again ...

Hi guys,

Long time away, but since my old GT has come to light in recent months, hopefully I will be back behind the wheel of a Marina soon!

This was my old GT, back in the day. Whilst I have been told it still exists I am yet to see it in the flesh and I ...

Hi Paul - no they are the ST rims. Gone with the ST now hence the slots that are one there now.
They did look good though.

I Know this car. It was based around the Abingdon area, where I was brought up. It was often seen around the Boundry House Pub, with a sign advertising a Hot Rod club that used to meet there. I also remember the roof chop Ital (Matt Black?). Nice job if I remember. I think the cabrio was Matt Black ...

They look grat Jim - How did you prise those from Franks hands? or are they just getting an airing?

Nice Mini! (Coupe's are all nice too!)

Looks like a late '70s example. Does it still have its 1000 cc lump?

Got any plans for it? The 1000s are a great drive, and almost bullet proof.

Had a few of those.

I'll have one!!

Nice touch on the bootlid!
Slots look good too!!

She looks good sitting in your garage, Frank! I enjoyed having it in mine, but things kept getting in the way - I'm glad its back with you and in line for "the treatment".

As for the van, well what can I say. It really is fantastic to have this van, much as it was to have had the Pick-up and the ST ...

Bloody hell!! Doctor Redmans weight reduction formula really works! Best get allot more of that, me thinks.

(it will take a bit more than photo editor to make me that thin!!)

As for rubbing up against the GT, I always did like the MK2s
