Picked it up today, it was the one advertised in Classic Car Weekly. Sadly I didn't buy it but it is safe in the hands of another enthusiast and club member. I have first dibs on it :lol:
It is highly unlikely to see the road for a good few years yet but it is safe and sound. Still very solid, underside is all Bedouin! Interior is pretty poor as is a lot of the chrome.

Seems we have a new oldest known surviver then! :)

Tell him the boot badges are round the wrong way josh ;) should be Morris Marina 1.3. Not Marina Morris 1.3 ;)
If a link was changed to "ebay linky" then that was probably Sam, because she's sad..

Don't worry the new owner is well aware of the boot badge situation :wink: Such a shame it's been left to get into this state but at least it is still solid. I expect the new owner will be needing some help finding some of the trim.

A few interesting things noticed (well interesting to anoraks such as me and the new owner :ugeek: ), it has a different rubber floor compared with later DLs, it also has much thinner floor retaining strips (sadly all damaged :thumbdown: ).

Nice pics Josh, interesting door trims, I notice she`s a Deluxe too, so there is a chance TDL is still the oldest Super 1300, either way it`s good to find more early survivors, I liked the Wild Moss car too, some of the early colours were a bit boring but I like them, good stuff mate, keep it up! 8-)
