This is Sean's Mk2 Saloon which he has owned for around 2 years. Sean eventually bought this car after 2 return trips to Stoke On Trent. Once he had the car it underwent a mild restoration, sills were repaired along with the headlamp panels. The car was then primed and painted in fresh Reynard metallic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Chris' Ital van. The van has had a headlamp and grille swap to Mk3 Marina. The only tell tale signs are the year of registration. Lovely job made of it though and one of which Chris really likes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Dougie's very scarce MK3 H.L Estate. This car was recovered from a garage just outside Cardiff where it had lay for over 17 years. Surprisingly not to much work was required to put her back on the road, and it looks even better in the flesh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Arthur's Pilgrim Bulldog which is currently off the road at the moment awaiting new paint after it was involved in an accident. Raymond the former owner had worked hard repairing the car which now isn't to far away now so should be back on the road in the near future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Jane's MK3 1.7 Saloon. The purchase of this car was a total accident. A  few members went down south to collect a van and returned with this little cracker. The deal was done with the cars former owner Stevie and the resullt was Jane acquired one of the last Mk3's around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update from Sean:

Work has been ongoing on the offside of the van and is almost complete. Due to new work commitments by Sean progress has been slow but Sean plans to make a fresh start by Summer.

Jobs still to do include: weld 2 new floor pans in, Repair N/S wing and a tiny bit of welding around the back window. Photos to follow!

Sean is still looking for a Tailgate so if you can help out click on the "contact us" section

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a photo of Michael's newly acquired MK3. The car has been in the club for a few years but never quite made it to a show. Michael is going to challenge it and no doubt will let us know how he gets on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Irene's very trusty MK2 Estate car. This is only part of Irene's collection as she also has a MK1 Saloon and a MK2 Pick-Up which is to be restored in the near future. The estate has recently been resprayed and it now really looks very nice indeed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is John's Pilgrim Bulldog which was a full rebuild of which the pictures can be seen on the workshop page. This kit is immaculate inside and out and John is very pleased with the end result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Larry's recently purchased Mk2 Estate which he picked up from Durham. The car has had a full rebuild with just about every panel and is solid inside and out. The car will get a new coat of damask red and be ready for the first show in May.

This is one of Paul's many Marina's, a 1.8 automatic coupe. This car is a workhorse and is a daily runner which has never let him down and has came to the rescue of a few members cars in the case of an emergency.

 

 

A cracking photo this taken outside a Morris garage. This camper belongs to Brian which really suits the dolly sprint wheels. This is only part of Brian's vast fleet which we are currently awaiting more pictures of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Peter's MK1 Saloon. Peter purchased this car a few years ago from a local garage in Edinburgh. This car is believed to have been driven by Prince Charles not on after he passed his test whilst on a trip to up north. A really cracking little find and we look forward to it being in attendance on the club stand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Jason's cracking looking MK3.

Christened by friends as dusty, intially buying a marina was greeted with ridicule by most of my friends and familiy though my brother did state that it was the 'most sensible stupid idea yet'

 

Dusty was purchased with the help of the legendary marinabrian, and found to bee a good car with no major issues, and has proved itself since, no real work needed and it never fails to turn heads.  In fact my friends now like the old girl and now having passed its MOT i look forward to another year of happy motoring.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Joseph's 1.3 MK1 Coupe in Damask Red. This is one part of his collection of classic cars which includes many other makes and models. It has to be said that this is the pick of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Craig's  little Morris Ital. Craig has now owned the car for a few years and is delighted with it. It is complete with no welding ever been done although it has had a new set of wings. It is indeed a very tidy original example.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is Joe's newly purchased 1971 Mk1 Marina Coupe. The car was bought from fellow member Bruce, who most people will know used it for classic rallying. Joe has been looking for another one since he sold his saloon and coupe over the winter in 200

     

       

 

 

 

This is Simon's new addition which is a 1.8 automatic saloon. The car was purchased by a fellow member on the spur of the moment to save it from the scrapyard as the previous owner had no interest in old cars. Simon will now be looking forward to finishing her off.

 

 

 

 

Here we have Roberts's nice looking MK1 Saloon. Robert has owned the car for the last couple of years after buying it from a fellow member who gave it up due to work. The car will be getting a new coat of paint at some stage and probably a few more add ons, so we look forward to watching the progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Dave's 1.7 o series powered Marlin Roadster. This is currently the only 1 in the club at the moment, but it is a very nice example indeed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of only about half a dozen Itals that are in the club and it is owned by Michael who also owns a Mk2 and a Mk3 Marina.

It was registered in Ayr on 1st August 1972 and survived ten years of use before being parked up in a barn. 20 years later, the car was saved from the crusher by a former member. It has recently undergone a full restoration and is a good example of the sought after MGB-engined Marina!! Oh, and it's green by-the-way!!

This is Gary's T.C Jubilee which has been of the road for just under 30 years. It was saved by a fellow club member and a deal was done for the jubilee which Gary had been looking for having previously owned one. Hopefully we will see the car at some point in 2010.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here we have a picture of Chris' latest restoration project. At the moment he is collecting all the parts required to do the job and no doubt once he has them l in place and makes a start it will be a cracking little MK1 coupe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the other half of Michael's collection. This car was advertised for free to a loving home. So Michael and another club member went on a 900 mile round trip to collect, well worth the journey by the looks of things.

Mick says :-

 

This is my first Marina. its a 1.8 MKII Coupe special. It needs some TLC, but at least in my hands, it will get it - eventually.

There aren't too many of them here in ireland, so she does turn heads. And the colour is very unusual too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a picture of Simon's 1971 Marina Coupe. This car was bought recently as Simon had wanted another for ages. The car has stood since 1994 and is in need of a bit of tlc.

This is a nice looking Ital which is owned by Kevin. It is done in a silver with black vinyl roof, which looks great when all polished up and is the only one of this colour in the club. All in all a very tidy example which will look great on the club stand.

This is Billy's recently purchased Mk1 Coupe. Whilst at a car show down in Bristol in spring 2010 Billy to a shine to the car and sorted out a deal to purchase it.
