Mine has just topped 61500 but looks like Josh is well in the lead. :-D I think my coupe is only on 50k but I'd have to check.

I'm afraid Paul Utting has beaten me, his daily DL saloon went over the 170k mark whilst on holiday in Durham last week!

Yes ,twas a petrol I worked until 1988 when the body dissolved ! Loved the thing as it never gave an ounce of trouble and earned its keep to boot . Who would have thought I would own another twenty seven years later ! Rediscovering my early days : :lol: :thumbup:

A nice sunny day and we took the Marina to Scawby Gala, a local show to support our local club. The air ambulance landed and was mobbed, and the DC3 Dakota did a fly by. I had a good chat with other members and I'm getting a friends MkII Jaguar to sort it out, but other than that I was bored to death.

Lesley said on the way home 'Now I know why we do rallies'

Nuff said, a rally is booked for next weekend.

PS as usual I was in the only Marina and suffered the usual inanities.
Shopping trolley(Mazda3)
2000 3 Ltr manual Jaguar 'S' type (love it)
1972 TC Marina Coupe (comfy everyday car)
1961 3.8ltr MkII Jaguar (Back to carburretors)(A lot more comfy with correct springs)

^ That's why I only do steam rallies where there's enough going on elsewhere to keep me amused. Car lineups and nothing doing except sitting in a deckchair complaining about the car three over from yours doesn't do a lot for me.

In other news, the Marina Parts Fairy (Devon Division) visited again today and left a nice set of TC wheels in the boot of Mud- bit more of the TC estate jigsaw 8-) :mr green:
