Marina GT
Can anyone tell me if they know of any GT's about in need of repair, for sale?? Odd question but does anyone know what happened to Darren Whites one?
I know it's a long shot but you never know!

Re: Marina GT
I know it was sold but no idea where it went.
It would not need a lot.
I have only seen 3. Phil's White one which he sold, a pale met green one at Peterborough a few years back and Darren's one.
I think GTs and HLs are very rare now.

Re: Marina GT
I nearly had the GT of Darren's before he had it. It was very sound.
I've only got 2 HL's on the database and 1 GT..

Re: Marina GT
I was offered that car, but decided it was better to let it go to someone else as in reality I haven't got the setup here for the sort of work it deserved to do it justice.
It was a sort of honey redish brown colour IIRC?
Definately needed sills both sides (I don't believe in patches) but was otherwise relitively solid. I kick myself quite often for turning that car down.

Re: Marina GT
To the best of my knowledge there are 8 Mk2 HL's left. There has been a Jade Green one in CCW so I'm told. Is it the same one that was on e-bay??
I imagine there is probably only that many surviving GT's now too??

Re: Marina GT
I had a GT a while ago, NTF 628R, starred in the MMOC calendar, then had a lot of bodywork, repainted Sandglow and sold on a couple of years ago to Marcus who has a white one. I think he was planning to restore it properly.... I also had another one which was in fine mechanical fettle but was rusted to hell; now gone (but I still have the V5....)
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....
