Marinas in Films
My wife tells me that she watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off yesterday and she reckons that one of the characters was driving a US Marina. Can anyone confirm this?

Re: Marinas in Films
Apart from being a most epic and brilliant film, unfortunately it does not have a Marina in. I thought the same when I first got into Marinas, bit alas no.MarinaCoupe wrote:My wife tells me that she watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off yesterday and she reckons that one of the characters was driving a US Marina.

It however has an MG based Ferrari kit car in. Spot the smiths gauges and various trim parts!

Re: Marinas in Films
I've seen Austin Marinas in film before but can't remember what films they were. Probably shows like The Rockford Files, Quincy and Columbo?
I was looking through some old VHS tapes I have and found some of those old PIF adverts that used to be shown late at night in the early 90's. I came across maybe four adverts featuring some unlucky Marinas! I would upload them to YouTube but I don't have the equipment to do that anymore
