Fast Marina Magazine

I thought they were virtually extinct, now all of a sudden there are TWO TC's for sale in Sweden - were the Marinas never sold particularly well!
I bought my TC from Sweden three years ago, it was supposedly the only TC left in Sweden. Well, now its twin sister has emerged:

It has brown interior where mine has blue, otherwise it looks quite good. Much better than mine! Maybe I should get myself another one?

The there's another one with no pics and it's not moving, apparently the gearlever has come lose and there's a problem with the clutch.

So apparently there are far more than 30 of these TC*s still left! Which is a good thing of course!

Nice

Yeah. I just put mine up for sale - aiming for the yellow one in the ad above instead!

the yellow one have been around for a while, so i think you can haggle a bit on that price.

Like the yellow one looks in very nice condition inside and out

I mean I've got two and I live in Nz, they must be super common

Anybody got any experience on importing cars!?

i've brought a few over from the USA,
where are you planing on importing from, there are rules for different countries,
but for USA (most are similar)
Cost of Car + cost of getting to port + shipping (container or roll on /off) + insurance + demurrage (getting off the boat) + duty (depends on age of vehicle) + VAT on it all, then SVA (IF LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD) Insurance(some companies will insure on vin number) MOT then to DVLA for 1st Registration part with even more cash and Bobs yer Uncle.. on the road..
i have a couple of companies i use to ship them if you want them let me know... one guy i know will do everything for you and just deliver the car to your door when legal or upto the stage you want to take over.. it's quite easy to DIY mind

Oops, I think I just sold the TC! The guy buying it has restored a couple of Fords before and already has an engineless Marina with a good front end so he has a donor for my rotten TC front.

Hopefully he'll collect the car this weekend. And you know what that means... empty garage space... money in pocket... :mrgreen:

Lucky you!
Dealing up on a new toy is the best feeling in the world!

Whats this empty garage space and money in pocket you speak of?
Thats a sentence heard in my house for quite a few years

He collected the car today. He paid cash. He didn't even argue about the price (1500 euros). Way too easy! But then, he was the only one who even called.

Heart says buy a 1994 Citroen XM Break V6 with _all_ toys, head says buy a new lawn mover. The swedish TC for sale mentioned earlier in this thread has an inactive owner/seller which has put me off a bit. It's also on the other side of Sweden, approx 1500 km's and a night on the ferry away. I will try to manage with just one Marina for the time being.

Geez, must be a hell of lawn mower for that price. :P

Something like that yes, Went and bought it today, it cost me about 1800 euros. Som one tatty TC is not enough to pay for a new lawn mover.

all of these have the 'E' series engines and Borg Warner autos
