remember that marina diesel from malta - on ebay a month or so back
Have emailed a bit back and forth with the owner. turns out that he have several marinas . so a deal was done for this mk3 with a isuzu turbo diesel , and fiesta seats
the deal is that the original engine and original seats

That would make a superb daily Marina!

What transmission is it running?

You could always send a couple my way if you run out of room :wink: :angel:

Jan-Ivar

I found this on the internet - it seems that they offer container units from Malta to Norway - could be worth looking into. My original search looked for shipping from Catania Sicily to Agotnes as it's possible to get a car ferry from Valetta to Catania. But if they'll ship direct then even better.

I might be fun to fly to Malta have a holiday, drive the car to the docks, and then fly home and pick it up from the docks in Norway.

Josh - i don't know what trans its running with the isuzu engine, but when i get it it 'll be back with the trusty? old marina engine & trans.
Chris - thanks for the tip - have asked for a qoute - if its anything close to the what on their initial pages (490 euros) it would be a steal compared to the 2100 euro qoute i got so far. If price is 2100 i've planned a plane to malta & then driving it through italy/germany/denmark & home

Malta trip now booked early august
will bring a few spares - thinking of both rad hoses, the alternator/waterpump belt - - does anyone know if the diesel share this parts with the 1300/1800/1700 petrol engines ?

The 1500 diesel is based on the 1500 B series, before it grew to 1600 and then 1800.
