Bollocks!  I wish I'd seen that Super Minx before the Rover I've just bought!

 

Actually no..... no MoT makes it a project, and I've just been bitten by one of those.  I'm probably better off as I am.  But it's still a gorgeous car.  We had one in 1983 when you could buy them for scrap money and it was like driving a bed.  I can only imagine how the auto box improves things!

Oh stop it, I've spent the money now.

 

 

 

 

And got a nice car out of it too.

Day trip to Chester actually happening very soon, but no car-buying involved.  It's part of the ongoing programme of rebuilding relations with my sister, who lives there.

GENUINE BARN FIND

 

 

BEEN IN HIS DOMESTIC GARAGE, DRY STORED FOR OVER 27 YEARS

 

 

ONCE BROUGHT UP TO SHOW STANDARD IT WILL BE WORTH MANY MANY THOUSANDS......

 

 

recent sales on e-bay of part restored and fully restored Marina's have sold for over £6,000

 

Stop it, or I might buy a Ferrari 250 GTO and offer to swap it for it.

They dragged it out earlier and have just decided to put it back in.
