Dont forget that the last Marina/Ital produced was the estate and was on show at gaydon. . . wherever that is now.

There has been an Ital Estate on ebay for ages and at the asking price it will be on for a while yet. Last year when I was on holiday in Blackpool there was a mk3 estate still motd sitting 60 feet up on top of a brick pillar in a yard in Fleetwood directly across from Fleetwood Freeport.
Mind you I love my Damask mk2. It is solid and has a mk3 interior which I fitted off a mk3 with the brown velour seats and brown doorcards with pockets in them. The seats are so comfortable compared to its original crap beige cloth which looked so thin.There are only a couple up here and are very rare.

I was the 2nd highest bidder on that Ital estate when the dealer bought it a few months back- sold for about £1300 I think.

and a red one (spares only) and a sandglow (early one)
shame they aren't sought after here as i can't see myself doing them up------

anyone wanting an ital estate to do up i got one you can have for free mind you its missing a few bits now

Kilroy has a couple of 1700s.

They are still quite common in NZ, in both Mk1 1800 and Mk3 1700 guise. Can't recall seeing any Mk2 estates for sale, strangely enough, just a few Mk2 saloons.

Last couple on TradeMe were asking around $2,000 - $2,500 (1,000 - 1,500 UK quid).

There is an ecosse members estate for sale in Perth. Very solid was last motd in 2010 and has only done a couple of hundred miles since. The body is solid and in the last couple of years it has had a new tank, exhaust, stub axles, centre bearing. It starts off the key and runs really well.. The reg is NSS 103 P and is a Mk2. The asking price is BARGAIN at £500.If interested send me a pm. There is a picture of it on flickr under morris marina estate. It is light blue.

Bargain!!!!!

'71 Marina Coupe 3.9 EFI V8

SD1 4 Pots with Audi discs
Heavy Duty Suspension Pack
Telescopic Dampers

Damn that's cheap!!

Wonder how much it would cost to get it the 400 odd miles to my place though?

Thats my old car the one I wish I'd kept, going to try and get it back so may have a van or mk1 coupe for sale to make room, unless I sell the sd1 or sprint first. Too many cars and not enough space. Really would like this one back though.

Estates are the most useful Marinas in my collection.
They also handle extremely well - the weight of the tailgate seems to create a better rear weight distribution.
Admittedly, I have the front swaybars fitted - there are no mountings for rears - the heavier springs made them unnecessary.

They carry an awful lot of gear, and there is just enough room to sleep in the back.
In case you are too inebriated to drive...

On holiday last week...

OO getting excited now, looks like my old car is coming back home for keeps this time, just need to arrange a pick up day.

Aren't you glad I saved it all those years ago Chris?

Yes just deciding what has to go to make room for it now.
