While i was walking back from the hardware shop, i had a Mk2 Astra GTE pass me in bronze, Its got to be 20 years ago since i saw one of those. Reminded me of when my mam had one, back in the early 90s, hers was white. I remember her ending up getting shot, due to the insurance blowing up in cost due to them been pinched upon piece. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Marina door handles also feature on the last two iterations of the Reliant Scimitar. They really were a door handle for all seasons.

Well I for one have never seen a Marina with a spoiler, but I have now.

From what I recall of my Dad’s Marina were the rubbish brakes and handling of a wet blancmange.

Stopping required around one bank holiday weekends notice and large size elevens. I believe servo assisted brakes were an optional extra along with a radio, heated rear window, radial tyres, vinyl roof, cloth upholstery. I can still remember my poor legs in shorts burning on the vinyl seating in the summer.
