I guess none of these cars are still around, I can't see the Mk 2 Tina on the DVLA site and the 1.3 Marina coupe, first registered July 74, looks like its last tax expired end of May 86.

I wonder how high up the firm you had to be to get one of the Corsairs. Or are they all hire cars, given the Jersey (?) plates and airport location?
