Strikes me that you posted the Wover and the American Ford so that the Marina would look good :lol: .. Which it might if it weren't for the seller's colour blindness and the "in need of refurb" interior. I find that the red-brown confuddled are usually decent enough folk, but.. :(
Rover Coupé it is then. I'll just have my workshop people make a convertible out of it so I can get out of the thing, having been vacuum packed and folded so that I could get in in the first place. Probably a nice car, just under tall. :|
Suddenly, the big Yank motor looks really good. :drool:

But nowhere near so appealing as this four wheeled Reliant:

I reckon that the Triton Green is an inspired choice, or maybe it's just the least awful thing available from Reliant's colour charts at the time. I like that but it's in something called "Australia"? :? I'm ok as far as Port O' Shields, but when I get there, which boat do I catch?

"Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true.. :oops:

How very dare you? Is that Roller worth investing your entire pension plan into, or what? I saw a program recently about old rollers. I think that the company on this website were the restorers. Non runners, but in good nick, start at around a quarter million.
Rich, go back to posting wanky Marinas, I hate them with a passion, but old rollers could easily be my undoing. I'm going to go and look over my bank balance again.
