More the shame that many classics are going to get crushed. For every Moggie I am sure there is a Marina.

Doubt it, there are thousands of Minors and only hundreds of Marinas. The Minor owners club boasts of 14,500 members, not all will actually own a Minor, and recently at a Morris Minor rally at Harewood House 500+ Morris Minors were on show.

I regularly see Minors on the road in the area I live, have seen one Marina in the last fifteen years and cannot remember when last saw one in a breakers yard.

The last Marina I saw "in the tin" as it were was around 2000 - there was an beige Ital estate seen daily about 6 years ago. I walked past a Minor on Monday morning!

Exactly, Minors are everywhere, my dentist uses a 1970 Minor Traveller as his everyday car and they're a relatively common sight all over the country from Lands End to John o' Groats, the last time I saw a Marina on the road was about 3 years ago, when I walked past a 1.8 Mk. I sandglow coupe on my way to my aunts house and I have only seen one Ital in the last decade.
