Marina Mayfair anyone?

Post by ScreamingLordStokes » Sun Oct 24, 2010 8:51 pm

Came across this in an old magazine and wondered if any still exist

It is a Marina Mayfair: "it looks like a Coupe TC Plus, but it isn't. Its a basic 1.3 modified by B.L. main agents Stewart and Arden to TC Plus spec. They fit a whole host of extras including twin-carb stage one head conversion and Sundym windows."
Obviously a sunroof and wider wheels too.

No I'm afraid only the one. I was hoping someone on here might have some. Looks like it had extra decals on too.

Well there is actually this other picture, but I originally thought it was too dark to be worth while. However I've managed to lighten it a bit:

The Mayfair was only available new and was a limited edition by Stewart and Arden.

what are the chances of any original ones of them being left ? There will probably be ones that look the same kicking about i would expect :)

You never know, could be one festering in a lockup somewhere just waiting to be discovered. I like the idea of doing all of the above to a standard 1.3, would've suprised a few at the traffic ligthts in its time I reckon. Stewart and Arden being BL main dealers based at Berkeley Square, London I thought some of the more southerly chaps might have some more info. Don't know how many they sold but the asking price was originally £1545, rising to £1800 by June 74.
