MARINA SPOTTED - OYW 549L

Post by marina1300coupe » Wed Dec 19, 2012 9:58 am

Couple of weeks ago I was striding along towards Edgware Station (Middlesex) when I had a real shock. Spotted a white Marina Coupe turning into the shopping centre car park so ran after it. This is only the second occasion I have seen a Marina in living in this area for twenty years. I was disappointed that it is a 'known example' would have been nice to report something new.

Spoke to the driver. Claimed to have owned it for about a year and has spent £1000 on it. From what was said it is possible that it might be up for sale, a figure of £1500 was implied. I referred him to this forum.

Unable to carry out a full survey but it looked reasonable, 61,000 miles.

Sorry Josh, no details.

The driver was very vague about the possible sale, it was a major effort to even get him to take fastmarina details.
