FTA259K above, was that the one that was on Ebay a few years back?

This was up for sale at Bonham's last month, apparently.

I found this today in a 1984 issue of Motor, It has a different plate but there can't be two 6 wheel Marina made, can there?

Bit off tack but there's an old car museum, now shut, outside Eastbourne who has got at least two of Led Zep's 70's customs.

Got talkigng to the bloke a few years ago.

Think they were in their film The Song Remains The Same?

I know the C cab is in it but there was some Yank four door limo thing, Al Capone style in this place, built onto a Dodge truck chassis!

All still original, dralon, the lot.

Proper old chodmobile!

Just came across this early Andy Saunders article from 1984 of this 1976 Citroen CX based custom.

WOW - i remember seeing a photo and details of this car when I was about 10, as I got older I assumed I had dreamt about it. I then forgot about it until now - Brilliant, thanks RA!

That 500 turned up a couple of years ago in the back of a garage a mate of mine went to. There are plans to "restore" it but my guess is that it'll never see daylight again

That MM minor is still around, there's a restoartion thread on one of the Moggy forums out there on it. Some of the design looked um, "interesting".

 

As for the rest they are spafftastic 70s specials, especially the jag... it does make you wonder whether people were graced with the ability of sight in the `70s.

Trawling back through this thread and I'm reminded of this... which I still like more than I probably ought.

[clarkey]

omg... i think that marina ended up in abingdon.. used to park in a layby outside some houses on the main road in by the now police station... didnt have the green on it though... surely cant be 2 roof chop marinas in matt black around... dissapeared about 5 or 6 years ago now,

[morris_ital_lover]

Near where the series landy resides/used to reside and the housse with a mouldy Anglia outside?

 

On the way out to Oxford on the bus there used to be the semi--notorious roof chop ital lurking in a garden but that seems to have disappeared.

I've seen this online a few times, but was recently reminded of it again.

 

 

 

This Cortina (survivor, or fake survivor?) has been doing the rounds again of late.

 

 

Ancient Autoshite.

 

Thank you, the Seventies.
