The rear wiper is off a Mk3 HL so is the interior. The Mk3 was rotten so I gave him a big note (£100) for the interior.Glad you like it.

In photobucket If you hover over the thumbnail of the image a star appears top right of that thumbnail.

Hover over the star a drop down appears with "Get Links"
Click on that

click on "IMG codes" it should go yellow for a second with "copied" shown
Come back to the forum and then click Ctrl+V and the link should open.

Click on "Preview" to check it has linked then "Submit"

Good to see it, a rare sight now. Do you get people coming up to you in petrol stations reminiscing about ones they had?

Well done Larry, it's amazing to see an estate, makes me realize how long it is since I last saw one.
PS you also win the award for best organized garage too
Cool

The last time someone came up to the driver of the estate in a petrol station she got her throat cut Laughing

Cant really say its a long time I saw one actually cause I just saw a green one less than an hour ago in one of the car parks at work, was almost immaculate too!!
No camera with me unfortunately.
Yours is in very good condition too and as D4b said well organized garage!!
Wish mine was the same!!

nice estate. i like marina's they are great family cars and they were of their time .the handling wasn't brilliant but it aint as bad as some folks made out, usually bad dampers or soft torsion bars or bad rubber parts in the suspension . Cool

Good looking estate, a credit to you - and in Damask Red(?) one my favourite colours. Very Happy

Yes Damask Red. My favourite colour as well. Hopefully getting the bonnet repainted and the new tailgate painted and fitted.

I had an identical one, well a 1.8tc in Damask Red in 1980, I hope you have greased the top of the petrol tank, mine rusted out at 3yrs old. I only found out just before I went on holiday. A lot of cursing went on! I had only just bought it second hand from a dealer so It was a warranty job. Just as well, because I could rarely afford to fill it up, so I might not have found it before the warranty period was up.
