I went to see this about twenty years ago when it was for sale! I think the asking price was £3000 which would have been reasonable for a car in tip top condition but this wasn't the case.We still had a good weekend in Cornwall though and the loss of Biffa Lockey's eyebrows is a tale of it's own! I...

Stored some more Rover parts on top of it

Just can't decide......... :) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y287/minispeedstar/iphone11532.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y287/minispeedstar/iphone11533.jpg Hey nice looking wheels there Gary, they look suspiciously like early Lotus wheels, almost ST but not quite, still better than T.C. w...

I think not Uncle Frank! Mk1's are only suitable for spares/donors for moggie minor boys! However, Itals do make nice plant pots :twisted:

What??? Text speak is as bad as 111010001001 1011 111 000 111 000 10 111 Binary. Do you remember the ZX spectrum etc which used tapes to load games? If you turned up the volume all the cats in the surrounding area would go mental and nobody knew what it was saying either - well apart from 00111 011...

Sunday 2nd August, this is the application form: BMC/BL Show August App Form I will probably be there but very unlikely to be going in the Marina as my dad refuses to drive it that far :( Around 90 miles each way? says a lot for your old man's confidence in the Marina, I regularly clocked up betwee...

Happened a lot soon than you think, around 1972 I believe :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Checksthis out on Fleabay at the minute http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300303793343 Beckett Brothers, "it's a genuine one owner from new, only on ...

when I was using my pickup regularly for work, I used cheap 20/50 (formula one from kwiksave at £2.36 per gallon), never used flushing oil, changing both oil & filter every 4000 miles, 4000 miles however equated to every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on how busy I was! I managed to get 280,000 mile...

This gives more of an idea of the size of the second.. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y287/minispeedstar/DSC01865.jpg I'm trying to let her indoors let me hang it indoors.. :lol: Don't you think it's a bit big for the Mumford's bootlid Gary? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trawling through the picture archive & found this one, Doncaster custom show circa 1992.....

Obviously a pre release model with no door frames :twisted:

Nice eh?

I don't think the structural integrity of the Marina can be doubted; it was the first BMC/BL car designed with crumple zones and the torsional stiffness of the shell was only outclassed by the Landcrab. They are a very strong structure - I have been in two smashes with Marinas (first wrote off a Fi...

WHAT? Don't give me that bull Brian! Jumping on the back of someone’s opinion so that you can give another dig eh? Paul's opinions are valid but I have to disagree. And yes I got a company to help me out on the bodywork and engine mounts but why should I struggle to do it myself? I've known ...

Mumford found !


A garage is an extension of the shed... somewhere to store all your $H1TE and not somewhere to park your car

Hi Ben Ihavent read most of this thred (first 3 pages). Your gearbox mounts need load spreading plats. The front mount brackets need a box comming forward to the x member, the x member needs bracing. The TC axel will not 120 bhp, i have been down this route. The halfshafts craze and fetuige at the ...

Don't know!, wouldn't want too anyway as my new fuel of choice has an octane rating of 100, and costs under 50 Pence per litre!

Free parking in Sheffield City Centre too!
