Found a Marina! Sort of! And another-sort of!

Post by balmy » Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:06 am

I visited a local ish garage that does a lot of tuning work regarding doing some engine work on my motor to be told by the elderly owner his son has a Marina!!!

Its built as a hillclimb car-mark 2 and putting out about 104bhp at the wheels with a modified B series and MG box. He couldn't remember much else about it.

He asked me if I knew of a set of standard seats so they could make it road going again-Chris-still got yours or are they for a saloon???

Balmy,

Yes I still have them, unfortunately they are for a saloon rather than a coupe, he's still welcome to them.

Barmy,

I haven't forgotten about the sliders, just got to dig the seats out of the back of the lockup and take the sliders off the seats.

I have a set of mk1 coupe seats if he's interested. They are in that horrible lime flower colour!! :-) front and rear.

Thanks guys-I'll let him know and see what I can sort out. :D

Went to another place today-guess what the garage owner owns? :P Yep, a MARINA!!! :D

To be honest I sort of knew-I've even seen it but had totally forgotten! :roll:
