Looks like this has turned up at one of our yorkshire dealers now on ebay. His past history will probably see the listing ended then relisted a few times.

Surprise surprise, ended early due to an error. Was bid up to £1500, lets see if it re lists.

Searched Morris Marina a few times and can only get the two vans in the results. I can only see this one when clicking on your link :?: :?:

Anyone know the reason for this please?

Re eBay- sorry not very good with other! I tried searching "morris marina" in lower case and then change the search from "All Categories" to "Cars, Motorcyles & Vehicles" and there is a list which currently shows three cars.

This is the same one from CarsAndClassic that no one bought and I nearly did!!!

He's been trying to flog that car since April.

In fact, from this very forum, you told me to avoid it. What is so wrong with it, if you don't mind me asking?

WAIT: I just saw the dates of the OP! Blimey ... it is the same!!
I could do with a quick sale the price is now reduced and it was cheap enough before!
Haha riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! And the price has remained IDENTICAL since you have had it on sale.

This guy is proper dodgy if you ask me ... :O
I love Marinas, but I can't have one. Instead, I'm the proud owner of "Lily", a Jaguar XJS from Coventry Rainforest, England.

Has he shafted anyone before?

I don't think this guy in Darlington has unless it is the same dealer selling from home. I think he most likely bought it from the Yorkshire dealer for £1500 and now wants to get his money back. Try asking him how long he has had it.
