Like any normal person, I spunk my dentures through my actual chappie when I see a Rancho, but a 75 makes me fall into a deep swoon of mehitude.

Nothing can make a marina into a decent car, take it from people who where there at the time, they where & allways will be shit.

Badly made from poor components,ill handling, unreliable rot prone whatever car you consider to be shit these were worse on all levels.

Their the epitome of a bad car they couldn't even get simple things right

 

2 Dr doors to small to allow access to the rear seats.

A wiper system that has a driver blind spot in either lhd or rhd (even though the shell's all came with provision for correct orientation ),

Front suspension components to weak for the purpose (over the whole production run).

Gbox again to weak for power output gearshift housing breakage (again never rectified).

 

Nasty creaky plastics 

 

Made worse with O series engines  that burnt out valves and filled distributor caps with oil amongst other things 

 

   

 

Scary thing is now people are stuffing 2.0  Zetec engines in them  .

 

 

Each to there own though

I'm not sure that is legit? £5k would be quite cheap. There was a £5k 2.8 Capri on last week when the ad appeared to be taken down, by ebay I assume, within a couple of days.

With ford prices I just don't know anymore . The advert doesn't seem immediately dodgy.

I can't believe they have done that to the Jag and the Mini.. they look awful... :(

Filming used about 100 as most dissolved after a few minutes. Beautiful beautiful beautiful, they missed the Bernard Matthews trim level.

I am puzzled by the ending of the take your Marina for a swim ad.  If each of the two body types was available with a choice of three engines and three trim levels, wouldn't that be 18 cars rather than 10?

Does the price include the tub of Marge?  If so: WINZVILLE CITY.

It's 'the doctor' so it's had several hundred bids on it already.

I know sod all about old Yank crap like this, but £2,050 for this old bucket of bollocks seems vastly over-priced to me.

Just like the Capri last week it has disappeared. I added them both to my watch list and both have gone. It was a £8K car all day so if it looks too good to be true..........

Needs more saturation.  Look at the colour of that hedge (JANUARY) and those HT leads!!  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:
