Mad Cyril Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 This has been around sunny Grimsby for years. Workmanship looks pretty impressive. Reckon the whitewalls finish it off a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55bloke Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 What's the story here? Obviously been converted from a standard Coupe, but by whom? And, when? Looks like a good piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Ross Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Looks like a Capri tailgate upper meets Hyundai Pony Lower............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm sure this has been discussed here before, I think the thread settled on Capri tailgate + Metro rear lights.Wonderfully pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yeah I remember the previous discussion on this. Good first post though needless to say Mad Cyril, welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRegieRitmo Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm sure Pog will think the rear lights are a particularly nice touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jeff Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm sure this has been discussed here before, I think the thread settled on Capri tailgate + Metro rear lights.Wonderfully pointlessNot aware of the previous thread, but the first words in my head tailgate-wise were 'Austin' and 'Ambassador'...

Mad Cyril Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Can't believe it's been spotted before. That's completely stolen my thunder. Must try harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Average Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I reckon that could be a Ambassador tailgate, but surely the Ambassador is to wide? Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Â The badging looks a bit modern for a Marina... Knocked together from various other scrap Austin Rovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I absolutely love it. Looks almost factory in the flesh.(except for the stripes and whitewalls maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSparrow Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The badging looks a bit modern for a Marina... Knocked together from various other scrap Austin Rovers? Yeah I think someone else on here said it was made out of an AUSTIN METRO or MAESTRO badges or similar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
