				Well today's the day that I am now the owner of two Marinas. We struck a deal at £150 and that includes any Marina parts I find in his yard (so far a bonnet, gearbox, headlights, possibly 2 dynamos, and some other bits as well as 2 bottle of welding gas, don't know how much is in them, and a good size trolley jack).
I also found under the passenger seat the manual, last tax disc and passport to service book. The guy I got it from is going to find me the logbook, paperwork and maybe another set of keys. There's also the chance this is a one owner from new car.
Today I popped out the last part of the roof (only a little bit left to do on that) and then started to unseize the engine (just need to wait for the stuff to work). I also found a lot more rot..nevermind. I just hope the chassis is good. So not much today but next job is to get it moved.
Updates to follow 

,
Alex

				Good man 

   Definitely worth doing especially if she's a one owner. When I bought PTH I almost broke her for spares though it was in far worse shape than whet you have there! Good luck with it, I look forward to seeing updates on her

				Bargain! Good to get a nice early car that hasn't been messed around with, even if it does need a lot of work.  Good luck with it

				That's pretty cool it's a one owner 

. You will Josh don't worry, just not for a while 

.
It's update time. Yesterday was the day we got it outside for the first time since 1992. It was then trailered and is now in my front garden. Work to commence very soon, I'm super excited  

. 
Pictures will follow,
Alex
