Looking at the other Marinas for sale on the site... Is that Damask red Marina for sale again? (the one on ebay recently)
Not even I've owned a car for that short a time :wtf:

Second earliest MK3 that I know of. Appears to be part of the second batch of MK3s built whilst BL were still building MK2s.

Why would you need a gas conversion on a 1.3????

Often thought about doing it on a TC but it would take for ever to get your money back on a 1.3, unless you were doing about 40,000 miles a year in it. lol.

Yeh, 1.3's are pretty good on fuel anyway even by today's standards.

My 1950 TC does 40mpg on a run. Late 20's otherwise so not too bad.
