Sad day today..... after 33 years I now no longer own any Marina or Itals. I bought the first in March 1983 (HVG 84N 1.3SDL in white) and today sold BGH 843X on to Sophie Bradfield after 13 years ownership. Bit of a hole on the drive, soon to be filled by either a Rover 100 or MGF and a pile of bits to shift through Ebay. The tally is:
HVG 84 N SDL Mk 1
ACL 77 S Mk2 Special
XXXXXXX Mk3 L 1.7
XXXXXXX Ital Estate 1.7HL
XXXXXXX Mk1 1.3 SDL auto
TBM 842R Mk2 SDL 1.3
XXXXXXX Mk3 Pickup
YBJ 801S Mk2 GT Coupe
XXXXXXR Mk2 GT Coupe (modded)
XXXXXXX Mk3 van ex AA special build for Dover Docks
BGH 843X Ital 1.7HL Estate
Feeling a bit..... Meh....
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....
