Hiya Cliff
Yep, that was my Marina-the only one at the show-though according to one seller he had had a few marina inquires for bits so looks like there was a few of us there.
Glad you like the car-taking a while to make it look that good-though more planned

Oh, and its Blaze orange-Vermillion was for the younger ones I believe!

TC-CLIFF you got it bad mate - we all understand the Marina versus TVR problem here. Well whatever your model is enjoy it, have fun, break the mold, don't be led by the hoard.
On the subject of your car, it's fine it's a Marina. I think that what many people on here were on about was that the guy that was selling it may not have been totally straight about the model description. As different models go for different money, we were warning one another as much as anything. Of course the car may have been like that for years and he could also have been none the wiser and just repeated what he had been told when he bought it.
