while surfing ebay last week managed to find a pre production corgi Morris Marina coupe in orange with blue/black interior,
well chuffed as been looking for one of these for ages.got a few chips but good enough considering how rare it is,.Image

I've only ever seen one for sale in NZ - iirc it went for over $70 (about 35 quid). :o

yea Bryan they don't come up very often, I've seen them sell for up to £800 mint in box mind (although I thought pre production came in plain boxes ) I got this one for £8.50 so well happy, and don't care that it's not mint, none of my 1:1 scale are mint either lol

Never anything other than coupe and then Vanguards saloon, but someone did do a limited edition resin body kit for a van and the estate to fit the Vanguards chassis. I think they are so rare they are heading for three figures now, if you can find one!
