Fast Marina Magazine

Hi all,
There is a very rusty TC Marina Saloon in Citron with vinyl roof located near Birmingham.
According to the owner it has (Or will have) no engine as it was being kept for a Kit car project.
the car was last driven 20 years ago and is complete apart from engine and back axle.
So trim may be of use.

I did say it was in a bad way so don't expect to much.
He wants no money for it but it has to be cleared from is fathers garden quite soon so time is of importance.
Pictures below -







This is want guy has said about the car -
Hello Paul,
Good to her from A Marina enthusiast, I was beginning to believe that the scrap man would have her.
The Marina is a 1.8 TC, I last drove it over 20 years ago! When it got too rotten to patch up it was parked at the bottom of my fathers garden to be used for spares. I own a Marina based NG TA kit car so it has been convient to keep the TC but now father has decided he wants the garden cleared. We have limited storage at home so can only keep the engine the rest of the car has to go. When it was parked up it was complete and the only item removed since was the back axle. I beleive that all other bits are still there but it will need digging out. Once out we will remove the engine but the rest is available for free providing the car is removed complete or broken up & removed from site. Also there maybe bits of another Marina buried in the udergrowth (1.3 Super). The car is located 5 minutes from jn. 1 M5. We now live in Wales but will be at fathers this Saturday (11/8) from 10:30 hrs to 16:00 hrs if anyone wants to view the car. I would be very happy for the parts to be used to save other Marina's but father wants the garden cleared quickly so time is running out.
Regards
Mark

Please contact me via PM and if you are interested I will send you details so you can arrange a pick up date.
As it is free then there must be someone out there who can pick it up and pass on the spares to people who are in need of them.
I guess the interior is navy.
From the pictures you will see the ivy is on the inside of the rear screen so I expect it is in a real state.

Regards,
Paul.

Crumbs Paul, that's a shame as it looks like it could've been in really good condition when it was first left there 20 years ago. Shame the windows weren't wound up. Still should yeild some useful bits for someone. Well done for finding and posting this.

Given the asking price though I think that's worth it Still got lights, glass etc which should be in ok condition, who knows maybe the interior trim will dry out nicely?

If I was a bit closer I'd happily grab it for spares but I think trailer costs to Birmingham and back will make it not worth my while sadly

i could realy use that tinted rear screen. Would happily pay gas & workmoney if someone could be bothered to cut it out ...

I think the windows may well be wound up! I think the ivy has come through the floor!!

any one near Birmingham with a trailer?
Free spares so only petrol there and back and maybe a trailer hire!

If this was up the road from me I would be there as it has same colour trim and tinted windows etc etc.
I would like first refusal on the front door rubber seals if it does get rescued?

Did this ever get salvaged?
I was in contact with someone who was trying to see it or save bits but he never contacted back to say he managed to get it or left it!

Not even sure it is still there now.

Would like it, only live about 40 miles away

I thought this was saved? Remember seeing this or a similar one dragged out Im a very poor state.

I thought that was balmy with a car down in Devon.

It's not the one those nutty Devon boys saved (that one was "inside"!) but it is very similar

This is a TC similar to the one That was pulled out of a lean to but this one has been outside all the time and I suspect it will be in a similar state.
Probably an M or N reg TC going by the gold pin stripe etc
