I too contacted him and he is not averse to selling it complete.
If my VW was running,I,d be up there in a shot.
I think there is an engine and box in the classifieds right here.
He,ll only need a pedal box then.
The pictures are,nt the best but it does look a good un.
I,d like a 1.7 in that finish ...

Have to say this.

Some IDIOT on ebay is selling a rather attractive 1980 Marina 1.3 auto on ebay.
Only 42k on it and claims to be a minter.

But the IDIOT intends to let you come and look at the car,drive it,then sell it to you sans engine and transmission,coz he wants THEM
for his Minor Traveller ...

Before I had a Mk3 I used to get a lift in a Pageant Blue 1700 estate...driven by a crazy German.
He got us home in record time.

Bodiam to Hastings in a blink of an eye.

I had to have one after that.

I got thru 2 1300s 1 1700 saloon,with a dodgy 2nd gear,brown vinyl roof on a V plate and 1 1700 ...

So where and when will the owners club be having its next rally/get together?

Anything anywhere near Nottingham?

All my Marinas have been Mk3s and I,m after another right now.

The Vermillion one reminds me of one I let get away about 6 years ago.

That was the same colour combination but had an auto box.
Strangely,the interior had faded to a very strange green colour but was a very nice car otherwise.
But,to ...

Nice to be able to pop on here.
It was off the main page for a while but it seems OK now.

Still,never mind.
This is the year.
Anyone who read my last ramblings will know I,m looking for a nice 1.3 or 1.7 late series Marina.

Like all the ones I had when I had hair.

It,s great to be back.

Oh! I,m ...

Sounds like you,re the same as me.

It just looks like it,s in the detail.

Nothing there that a couple of afternoons won,t fix and I REALLY like the colour.

Keep us posted.

Every car I,ve ever owned,I,ve always done "the right thing" by them.
This one has been no exception.
This year I,ve spent over £1000 getting this one sorted and I,ve still not finished.
Tho to be fair,I could use it everyday.
There is MOT until next July.
Just need to replace some slightly ...

Just as an aside.
If you visit photobucket.com,search for ralphtown_album,you,ll be able to see the current encumbant of my lock up.
In need of a jolly good clean,when the pix were taken.

Just joined the forum and plan on joining the club in the new year.

My Marina history is this:-

I got my first 1300HL in 1986 on a T plate.
Paid £650 for it.
All white and very shiny.
Should have had a really good poke around tho as you could put your hands up inside the doors from underneath ...
