The vendor has provided the following:
- Morris Marina MkII 1.8 SDL Estate
- Damask red
- Current mileage 53,210
- Tax & MOT exempt
- A rare car, with only a handful remaining on the road in the UK
- First registered 1/12/1977 in Edinburgh, where it spent the first 34 years of its' life
- Since then, it's been in classic car collections, most recently in the 'Warwickshire collection'
- The current owner is only the second recorded keeper with the DVLA, having carried out extensive recommissioning, including full cavity wax (at considerable expense) before returning to the road
- The car has covered 1,600 miles in the meantime
- It remains a very useable and practical classic car, with a large load area, and potentially ideal for towing a classic caravan
- Having the larger 1.8 B-series engine, largely similar to the MGB, it has enough power to tackle motorway work if required
- Appearances at classic car shows normally cause people to comment - 'My Dad had one of those!'
- Sadly, this is a reluctant sale, due to change of circumstances/health issues.
