According to classicboat website, 'The Seagull has become one of the few engines ever to achieve cult status. In it's heyday of the 1970's, British Seagull was selling over 80 000 motors a year - small, affordable, bulletproof outboards barely changed since before the war.' Seems just right in the back of a Marina!

So gave the car it's reward for doing the lugging. 10" length of 1 3/4" OD stainless tubing, 1.5mm wall, is a nice tight sliding fit over the rusty looking standard tail pipe, drilled in a self tapper just to make sure it stays put.

Instant bling for the price of a pint!

Nice job with the exhaust, would look awesome with the prop of that seagull showing under your bumper though... :lol:

I know about an amphibious Citroen CX, so why not with a Marina? It is in its name!

From my house it would only take about 10min to get the Marina to the Marina!

Marinas take on enough water on land! I could already do with a bilge pump and she's nowhere near the docks :lol:
It would be a subMarina :shifty:

Excellent, well done David.

What tyres you running on her? looks like you have lifted the suspension up a bit?
