Locating old roadster

[christopher.bogue2011]

Trying to find out if my friends old Mk1 Marina Roadster still exists. It is WRK757N, with wire wheels, and was two tone green. He wants it back!

Re: Locating old roadster

Your friends car is not on my Mk1 register but it is listed by the DVLA as a Morris with a 1798cc engine and is currently untaxed.
I would hazard a guess that it is probably a Marina based Mk2 car.
If he is really interested in tracing the current owner he could try applying to the DVLA about his old car.

Re: Locating old roadster

Over time I have collected many hundreds of Marlin pics and cannot always remebere from where, or whose copyright they are. Having said this are these two D Banes pics of interest taken I believe at Hindhead in 198....?

I have two other pics of the car, I guess probably taken at a roadside by your friend during his ownership

Re: Locating old roadster

Ben, I've another 16 of D Banes pix, I believe sent to me by Hugh Cumming a while back as part of my "Anorak's Corner collecting". Not sure whether I should put them publicly on here but happy to send you a CD if you would like....BTW which year was Hindhead, or were there several ?

Ben (or anyone else....)
If you are interested, I have some old photos in very good condition(around 1988/9?)of the following Roadsters:
Q739 BAL : Fabulous example
LHL14L - Peter Hares definitive example, with interior shots
RNF 888R : another impressive example, with interior shots
- plus several photos of other very nice interiors of Roadsters around at that time.
I also have a couple of two fabulous Berlinettas of the time
Q577 VME - my personal favourite
Q410 GDB - a close second

Hi Dave,
Hindhead was even before my time but it was an annual casual meet that became comercial ised and became Sandown around 86-87 I think. Should see you on the 3/9 so yes please to a CD it will be quicker.

Hi Mike,
If you have any pics of Mk1 cars I will always be pleased to see them BUT please in small or compressed format as I am (or my pooter is) pic loading challenged

And here are pics of my self built Roadster earlier this year. Would be great to know who bought it.
