Saw a Harvest Gold Marina Saloon making it's way through the traffic a day or so ago: anyone on here? Perhaps a local Marina buddy might be able to help me find a car?! :D

I think it's the guy with Philips old saloon.

Don't think Pete actually takes his out does he? :lol:

He tends to photograph them a lot, mostly with fantastic wheels and spots :-)

Didn't know about Phillip's old car.

Thanks for all the replies and for identifying the car/owner for me! I'll have to keep 'em peeled...

I know Pete but haven't seen him in a while. I too share a strange fascination will all wheels in 3.75" PCD, there are 15 sets in the garage now... Still, when I eventually locate a Marina/Ital I'll be spoilt for choice rim-wise! :D

Yeah...erm...kinda slightly addicted to weird and wonderful period additions, particularly wheels!

I've got every variety and model of Cosmics, obscure MAGs, Turbovecs and many others. I've put aside a particularly nice set of Cobra Dragslots in 7J for a Marina/Ital, as they should fill the arches nicely. ;)
