HI,

For fans of 'Police Camera Action' you get to see a few marinas on film.
Usually on satelite re-reuns. And usually in near misses with Cav sri's or Gte's followed by 825's just before they blow gaskets lol.

Well it may have been on the BBC as some bugger blew one of them up in 1982...

I have just seen the Bruce Lee movie ´Game of Death´which was finished a few years after his death.Its full of mid 1970s cars including a rear/driverside view of an Aqua TC saloon - most likely a ckd car or an Aussie one

I could not believe they fudged the sound on the reconstruction film :roll:
Still you can see it on the Crimewatch website!

Shame it was not filmed in the day time, but you can see the wheel trims were lovely and shiney :wink:

I am guessing the victim was not originally run over by a red Marina though :lol:

The Shane Meadows film "This is England (2006)" has two Marinas shown in a car park scene a red MK2 saloon and a MK3 saloon in sandglow.
