Hi all

I'm trying to trace the previous owners of my coupe SAE632M and create a "back story" together. I purchased it in May 12 through Ebay and subsequently found that Dan Cowan (On here a while back) had bought it from a seller in Cornwall who sold her to Dan in 2011. I've spent hours searching the net and managed to find a few pics going back as far as 2009 through just simply searching "Marina" in tagged photos. Seeing as she is now 40 years old I'd love to know who was driving it..and where in the past. Old pics etc. Here's hoping someone knows something I don't!
Cheers in advance!.
Alex.

I may have the Cornish owners details somewhere as I looked at buying it when they had it for sale. I'll have a sift through my e-mails when I'm back from the national and see if I can find anything.

I'm sure Mud is an ex- Kernewek car as well, was him that saved her years ago as I recall- he's a (very occasional) poster on retro rides still I think.

Hello, yep im kernewek or whatever my username is now. My brother bought it several years ago, not sure when and had it long enough to do a few bits. To be honest he should never have sold it as it was a really solid tub, but my brother gets bored real quick. I have been keeping track of your progress and its good to see its getting the treatment it deserves.
I can try to answer any questions you might have about it or ill have a chat with my bro when i see him.
pm me for my latest email address or number.
Good to see my old estate still bobbing about too cheers PHUQ.
