Fast Marina Magazine

MOTAT (Museum of Transport and Technology), in Auckland, have added a 1978 Marina wagon to their collection. (Cheap phone camera, so not a great pic ). Couldn't get a decent pic of the info sign, but described it as an example of the British motor industry at it's low point - underdeveloped, poorly built, rust prone :roll: . Not derogatory, but not flattering.

It seems such a shame, that this disgustingly filthy laggards vehicle, produced by mean spirited and thoroughly perverted individuals, hated by the masses, only sold a measly 1.5 million examples....

How many Lamborghini's you sold lately Luigi.?

Bl**din wa*kers.

Yes it's so crap, it's only managed to last 34 years :roll:

Nice one Brian. Is it Reynard metallic?

Bloody hell! A Marina being ADDED to a museum....... the BMHT couldn't get rid of theirs fast enough!

They were underdeveloped, poorly built and rust prone though! Still are, in the case of mine

I'll have to go back and get a pic of the display card.

The blurb wasn't derogatory or snide like JC and the TG crowd, just matter-of-fact about it being a product of the time, symptomatic of the industrial malaise that blighted Britain, Australia and NZ in the '70s . Sadly, they were screwed together by Red Robbo's mates, rusted (like everything else at the time!), and were the victim of some suspect management decisions.

But at least they have character.
