Yes, it's a Marina Hatchback. Yum.

[Mad Cyril]

This has been around sunny Grimsby for years. Workmanship looks pretty impressive. Reckon the whitewalls finish it off a treat.

[Volksy]

Welcome, great first spot!

[VWPowered]

defo great first spot... why's it got metro rear lights

[morris_ital_lover]

I don't know, but I like it!m0rris

What's the story here? Obviously been converted from a standard Coupe, but by whom? And, when? Looks like a good piece of work.

[Albert Ross]

Looks like a Capri tailgate upper meets Hyundai Pony Lower.............

[Milford Cubicle]

I'm sure this has been discussed here before, I think the thread settled on Capri tailgate + Metro rear lights.Wonderfully pointless

[Jason A]

Yeah I remember the previous discussion on this. Good first post though needless to say Mad Cyril, welcome to the forum.

[bigstraight6]

Welcome aboard Mad Cyril, that Marina is strangely alluring

[MrRegieRitmo]

I'm sure Pog will think the rear lights are a particularly nice touch!

[Jazzy Jeff]

This is an Autoshite favourite, however the stripes, the whitewalls and the mud on it are all new to me. Things look a bit bleak for it.

Not aware of the previous thread, but the first words in my head tailgate-wise were 'Austin' and 'Ambassador'...

[Negative Creep]

Now that is the definition of shite

[Mad Cyril]

Can't believe it's been spotted before. That's completely stolen my thunder. Must try harder.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Dont beat yourself up cyril man, its a winning spot alright, i'd defo pull over and snap it and ram it up on here if I saw it tomorrow!

[pompei]

I saw it a few weeks ago - the owner is a mechanic at Oxford Motors, and as he was busy, he couldn't really talk, other than to say that although it's shabby he has plans for it! Will post a couple more pics tomorrow

[Mr Average]

I reckon that could be a Ambassador tailgate, but surely the Ambassador is to wide? Go figure.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I think its from a capri, and its not just the tailgate but the whole aperture has been spliced in around the top and sides.

[Ratdat]

First time I clocked this was at Oxford Motors. It pops up at Newark Autojumble too. Actually, Oxford Motors probably deserve some kind of special shite status as I picked up my skanky Nissan Cherry Europe from their yard.

The badging looks a bit modern for a Marina... Knocked together from various other scrap Austin Rovers?

[pompei]

At Oxford Motors ...

 

 

[andrew e]

SARB tailgate?

[Mad Cyril]

I absolutely love it. Looks almost factory in the flesh.(except for the stripes and whitewalls maybe)

Yeah I think someone else on here said it was made out of an AUSTIN METRO or MAESTRO badges or similar!

[55bloke]

Looks like it's desperately in need of some work to halt the tin worm before it's too late.
