Love the blue TC saloon and is that red TC saloon the one from IOW which went to SAM and is now somewhere else?

Richard Young's Jubilee I think as well looking nice not sure if he owned it then though but it is still a live just

It is very strange seeing how many Marinas appear to have been scrapped after being in enthusiasts' hands, both WGN 574M and JDA 123N are no longer with us and I bet there are plenty more as not many number plates are visible in the pictures.

Tell you what..
It was a great day out.
If you look closely you can see the last blue Ital estate built.
They wheeled that out for us especially.
On the way back however
My Montego picked up a stone which lodged by the fanbelt..
snapping and wrecking the engine.
'Twas an expensive, but enjoyable, day for me!

Remember this getting ragged around the carpark!
Petrol spilling out the filler and a glorious noise
(but the understeer..! well)

Does no one know where any of these cars are now? Some of the close up photos must be recognisable to people if they recognise the number plate

Well I recognise Gary Ds Mumford, Dave bristows Black Tulip coupe! But I'm not to sure on the others!

The Jubilee is Richard Young's so is still living and next the the Red TC you have Phil Dunster's GT Saloon,
Dave's Black Tulip TC coupe and the Red TC saloon with black vinyl was Sam's car but I think that may have gone!
