Fast Marina Magazine

well i found a car undercover - and recognised part of it ( see technical section underiders ) and went back today to do a bit more investigation - knocked on the door but no answer so i lifted the rear cover a bit and saw marina coupe tc - but when i looked closer - thru a tear in the tarpolin cover to my suprise it is a convertable - wow so lifted the side to confirm and yes it is a nice white convertible

WATCH THIS SPACE

am trying to find out if for sale - as i got my mk 1 in garage being restored at moment this would prob be no good for me ( sobs ) as i would love a convertible but there is only so much i can afford - and seing as i have promised the other half i would keep the saloon


but then again i did say there would be others - i need to be tamed as i only had my 1st marina in may this year and i am collecting them now lol

if i do find out that it is for sale i will let you guys know - as i would rather it go to someone who would love it


let me know what you guys think - will keep knockin on the door and see if i can get some pictures

I think the guys on here have the Mumfords well documented. Did you get a reg plate number off the car?

Sod what my parents think if it is for sale they will have a hard time stopping me buying it!!

i know the feeling josh ,

i did get the reg plate XJY 142N

If thats for sale Josh I think you'll have a fight on your hands. I for one will be very interested.

well i just poped round but light on and no answer was just about to leave when a young female arrived - said it's her grandmother's and they got my note - and are thinking about it - as grand ma is very attatched but the young woman said she would like rid and will do her best to help -

asked to take pics and she said yeah no probs so here are a few

Yup, thats the real deal

the rear end - lower corners of roof a bit rusty and along the sides - but front wings are in v v v good condition

Nice find eagle eyes!! Iv got a hard top in the same colour,not sure on the brown seats tho! If it is up for sale it would look good with mine!

and all this from just recognising the underiders - i am getting sad







now how much is a reasonable price for the lady to ask

Haha,thats not sad just getting the nack!! Hard to put a price on that. Just a pile of scrap to alot of people. Its been there a while by the looks of it. Strange to see anuther white coupe/soft top,didnt think there was any left!!

Nice find

Well she needs a lot of work but everything seems to be there!

yeah i know - needs a good clean too lol

:shock: What a find Andrew!, looks like the genuine article mate, she needs a full resto though, NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED THESE BABIES!, i have done three now and they take a lot of care to get right, having no roof makes them bend very easily when you start cutting bits out!, at a glance it needs wings, rear quarters, probably sills and floors, the roof back edge has pulled away from the body due to shrinkage, she will also need a new roof making @ £800+! so be careful people, they can get expensive very quickly

well i am chuffed - seems to be a few marina's localy to me here - a few just sitting in people's drive way's
