ISTR in the late 90s/early 00s there being a website dedicated to the Mumford Marina with possibly this car on it? The picture certainly looks rather familiar. Mind you could be my memory playing me up as I would have been about 6 or 7 at the time! (and yes I had decided I wanted a Marina then 8) )

Picture just from Google images.
Looks like Gary D's or very similar.
I guess it is still around then?

Plate looks like HDR 510N to me which shows up on the DVLA database as SORN and blue and a 1.8 so I guess it has to be.

Yes unfortunatly this now belongs to Stiv and was the car featured on one of the original Torcars leaflet

Who is Stiv? :?
Is he not looking after it then?

Stiv is a carrector that buys ex feature cars but basically has no interest in tem what so ever other than that, and then lets them get valdalized as they sit in his drive and garden.

He's got 3 Mumford's (all ex article / advert cars)
and XDL, feature TC from pratical classics from years ago

all rotting away and Mumford's have had theyre glass vandalized.

OH Dear!
Bit of a waste. I seem to remember now about those cars :roll:

That seems a terrible shame. Could they not be prised from his grasp with an offer, or is he one of those 'not for sale at any price' types?

I've always had a soft spot for Mumfords and regret not having bought a (Special?) based one that passed through a local auction some years ago.

Any chance you could take a couple of photo's so we can see how bad they are? maybe someone can save them?

I dont have any contact details for him anymore, think he's still a friend of Andy Walsingham tho....

Afraid Gary is right, i tried to contact Stiv several times over the past few years and although i have his phone number he will never answer it, it always goes to answerphone and then he never returns your call :roll: , such a waste of all these cars, i was trying to rescue `XDL` my old TC Coupe, but there seems little or no chance
