My wife tells me that she watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off yesterday and she reckons that one of the characters was driving a US Marina. Can anyone confirm this?

Apart from being a most epic and brilliant film, unfortunately it does not have a Marina in. I thought the same when I first got into Marinas, bit alas no.

It however has an MG based Ferrari kit car in. Spot the smiths gauges and various trim parts!

I've seen Austin Marinas in film before but can't remember what films they were. Probably shows like The Rockford Files, Quincy and Columbo?
I was looking through some old VHS tapes I have and found some of those old PIF adverts that used to be shown late at night in the early 90's. I came across maybe four adverts featuring some unlucky Marinas! I would upload them to YouTube but I don't have the equipment to do that anymore :cry:
