ONE OF JOHN'S MARINA'S

[Alan 1,271]

This Marina was MOT'd nearly 10 years ago. John drove it to the MOT garage and I drove it back home. It has not moved since. That is until Chris got it running again late last year without much trouble.  Moved from under a lean to and parked in John's workshop.  Started up again today and after Chris had a play and drive around, well it is RED, and you KNOW he likes RED, we washed it and had a photo session prior to advertising in between the rain drops.  Clock reads about 17,000 which is believed to be genuine, but the MOT has probably expired by now.

OOP's, so I did.

Now that's a surprise. Is it leaded? Can you remember Alan?

Now that is what I call a time capsule find. Lovely.

[Stormin 4,458]

X reg. That'll be 1980 I think.

I have walked past it covered up in the lean to a couple of times and I did not realise it was that good. Very tidy car which will be great for shows.

Sounds like The Showman has been performing his magic.

No idea Norm.  Can't remember when leaded was phased out and unleaded came in.
