Well I nearly drove off the road this evening when I spotted a marina in Worthing West Sussex cruising the strip!!! :shock:
Marinas are a very rare sight down here along with the spares too!!
This one was on ebay not too long ago and very distinctive, it was Damask red coupe with a pair of wide white stripes on bonnet, roof and boot.

By the time I had reversed out of the grass verge it had gone, but it is being enjoyed by someone local to me so that makes two in Worthing I have seen now and I don't know who owns either of them!! :D

Sighted again near Wick railway crossing in Littlehampton West Sussex close to where I work by a work colleague

As I have also seen the bottle green coupe in the same area I am wondering if the same person owns both the Damask Red coupe with with strips and the green one!! :?

When I get mine going I will do some cruising to see if I can locate these two!

i belive the bloke who used to own it lived in kent as the car sounds familier to the one that pulled up behind me in the garage during the summer think the mans name was john and he had several others said he used to be a member but got bored think he may have other motors i have his number and i will give him a ring to see if hes having a clearout

Ive seen this Marina many times,even stopped on the way home from work to look at it.Its parked at an Audi dealer in Five Oaks near Billingshurst on a regular basic so Id say the guy must work there.Clean car,stripes are....noticable!!

oooohhhh

Not 100% sure about the stripes love them on the roof and back but the front hasnt got me convinced.

The guy that owned it didnt run out to see why the hell you were taking pics of his car then? :lol:

Thats the one dude!
If it is seen in Billingshurst then that would tie in with the sightings in littlehampton etc as you can get to Billinghurst from there.

Also Bottle green coupe seen again by Durrington West Sussex!
Both these are close!

I never have a camera when I need one! :cry:
