OK Gary, mine is also another make with a Lucas sticker
Looks great Gary, I bet your pleased as that colour is just brill.

Gary,

I think you will need to fit the original white and yellow plates for the MOT. My TC is a tax exempt "L" registration fitted with black and silver plates, and my MOT tester had to get his reference book out. :?
My car is "borderline", as it was manufactured in 1972 (tax exempt) but not registered until June 1973! White and yellow plates are compulsory from January 1973.
He issued my ticket, but told me to keep the original plates in the boot, just in case

Good luck with your MOT test.

Thanks dave, I do know the legal requirements for black and silver and that it is supposed to be pre 72, i had a job finding someone that would even make the riveted black and silver plates at all.. MOT wont be a "problem" as its always handy when your friendly with one but i will keep a set of riveted white and yellows in the boot just in case i get pulled by the rozers :roll:

Ps, I found the bonnet yesterday

[JubileeNut]

Did you find your wipers with the bonnet

[Gee tc]

I have a pic of this car from the Annual event at Gaydon 1997 somewhere!

That was the last time it was on the road I still owned it back then aswell

[minispeedstar]

Well she passed her test yesterday with flying colours and i have to admit she drives like an absolute dream Prob the best Marina i think ive ever driven, absolutly sweet as a nut

[JubileeNut]

Great news Gary.
When I see the car I will be taking some good pictures I think

[minispeedstar]

Got the seats back and in today, quite please with them:






Took her for a spin

[JubileeNut]

Coooorrrr that is lovely 8)
You should be proud mate, worth the wait.
Did Darren's mate do the boot carpet?
I am still waiting for mine and have tried contacting him, fingers crossed he should have a set for me

[minispeedstar]

Erm yea that may well have been yours mate as he'd done them for Darren and i spotted them

Boot mat, wheel cover and leather tool bag for £85, didnt think that was bad..

[JubileeNut]

That may be why I have been waiting 2 years as it was at the national 2009 I asked for my set :roll:
He even quoted me the prices and I was willing to pay him up front.
They look nice though, but don't leave your boot open or I will have em

[minispeedstar]

You should have said mate, he had two sets done there, i could have nicked the other one for you too

[JubileeNut]

I know he was getting them done and he used his as a template, so maybe the other set may be mine, hope so. Either that or his original for his car.
He promissed them so I guess he knows what he is up to.
I want to get rid of the Ital boot mat I have presently as it is not right and has a small tear.

I bet you have been turning heads with the TC?
I know I get some looks driving around mainly as you just can't miss the colour .
Balmy saw me coming up the A1 from miles away

[minispeedstar]

Yea get lots of looks and people even waving.. lol took her and the troops up to Newlands Corner lookout point today and was bonbarded with people asking questions, forgot what it was like driving a Mumford.. lol Even had someone admit that even tho he hated anything wearing a BL badge that he liked it lol and another old boy asked if it was a Indian import as he thought it was a new car that had been re-released.. lol
