Marina Advert

So they parked one on the salty beach then wrote the words about rust protection under the picture.

Long Live the Marina - Irony ?

Just goes to prove that while you may not be able to polish one, you can certainly put spin on a t##d.

You could see a bit more around this one, but still be distracted!

Cant see any rust.

Re: Marina Advert

My first car was a 1.3 Marina Coupe when I was 17 (back in 1975). I think I kept the leaf spring industry afloat single handedly as I constantly snapped them as they were underated for drag starts!!

The second one I had somehow bypassed the electroplating as it was the national producer of Fe3c (rust to those not familiar with chemical symbols).

Niether came with the pictured bonnet mascot - shame that would have been excellent for a hormonal, spoty 17 year old.

We had a number of 1300's cars & vans and a1700 O ser. estate with a floating half shaft, it floated in and out half an inch, a beautiful car. None had the bonnet mascot though . They all handled sensibly when fitted with heavy anti roll bars. The 700 single carb had surprising acceleration.

The car, or the bonnet mascot?

Re: Marina Advert

my younger brother had a 1.3 coupe - quite possibly one of the most awful drives I ever encountered - the worst was a Lada. Still, Im sure there were worse out there. However, put the mechanical gubbins in a sturdy chassis and fiddle with the suspension and Paul Moorhouse ended up with a fabulous little car.

Re: Marina Advert

OK, think perhaps I shouldn't have said that as this thread could easily spiral rapidly out of control.

As I recall, nostalgia aint what it used to be
