Re: More and more TC's around

He collected the car today. He paid cash. He didn't even argue about the price (1500 euros). Way too easy! But then, he was the only one who even called.

Heart says buy a 1994 Citroen XM Break V6 with _all_ toys, head says buy a new lawn mover. The swedish TC for sale mentioned earlier in this ...

Re: More and more TC's around

Oops, I think I just sold the TC! The guy buying it has restored a couple of Fords before and already has an engineless Marina with a good front end so he has a donor for my rotten TC front.

Hopefully he'll collect the car this weekend. And you know what that means... empty garage space... money in ...

More and more TC's around

I thought they were virtually extinct, now all of a sudden there are TWO TC's for sale in Sweden - were the Marinas never sold particularly well!
I bought my TC from Sweden three years ago, it was supposedly the only TC left in Sweden. Well, now its twin sister has emerged:

Re: Winter rallying in -30

It was -33! The Marina performed faultlessly. We had a slight oil leak - but we couldn't localize it and it didn't leak any more (yes there's still oil in the engine).
I have an engine pre-heater and without it I don't think it would have started. But now it started first time on both very cold ...

Winter rallying in -30

Well, tomorrow we're off again for this year's winter rally in Jyväskylä. It's a 5-hour drive in the Marina, but this year with temperatures nearing -30 celsius. It has coped well before in -20, but I must admit I am a bit nervous as to how it will perform tomorrow. I have put a piece of cardboard ...

Spot lights for my TC

What kind of spot lights would you recommend for my TC? Lucas square eights are nice but they are quite expensive and I don't like the idea of one fog and one spot lamp. And they are virtually impossible to get hold of over here. What other models of spot lights were used at the time, preferrably ...

The world's most expensive Marina?

This is for sale just 40 kms away from me, it must surely be the world's most expensive Marina?

I saw this car last summer, it's in as new condition and I mean as new. It even had the original headrests for the front seats still in their Unipart plastic wrapping. But at that money... 8900 euros is ...

Winter driving

Took the TC out of its garage today to give it some stick on the ice.
Great fun! Although it was a bit difficult to drift and film with the phone at the same time...

Re: Rechromed MK1 Dash dial bezels

I have 3 "extra" bezels but would ideally need 5. 3 for the TC and 2 for the 1,3. Any chance of sending three and getting five back?

Re: 1,3 Air filter

Found some in the US! British Parts Source in Ohio sent me 2 x GFE 1005 in ORIGINAL BOXES!

Unipart doesn't make these anymore do they? Fram do not make their equivalent CA646 any more.
