Vermillion Ital Estate spotted

Post by MarinaCoupe » Sat Sep 28, 2013 5:20 pm

I popped over to see Gary S (Vermillion) today and he mentioned that he had seen an Ital Estate this morning in St Neots. Whilst driving home, as I approached Bedford I saw this at the side of the road with a couple sitting in it, so I stopped to see if I could help.

It had broken down with the diagnosis being distributor. The guy had already spoken to the AA and a van was on its way. It's a late 1.7 SL, the owners has had the car 18 months and had to do a fair bit of welding and a bottom half respray to put it back on the road. He is not a Marina club member, but is a Minor Owners club member who wanted something bigger.
