Ever washed a Morris Marina?

Didn’t wash mine this weekend but did take it for a spin with a couple of mates in their saloons yesterday.

I had a couple as company cars back in the Seventies the last one was an estate in that lurid blue. Within nine months both sills were rusted through.

I had an 1100 van gifted to me in 1984. The original

Flintstones car – no floors! Although it did take two blokes, camping and diving equipment, plus a fully inflated 14ft Zodiac on the roof rack from Gravesend, Kent to Brixham, Devon and back.

My first car was actually a Bordeaux Red one here in Holland. A smart colour for the coupé. I bought it for just 350 dutch guilders and drove it for two years!

I’ve had two Marina coupés, both in the early Nineties. One rotted away and the other I left the wrong way up in a field. I’m still not quite sure how. I let the farmer know where it was but he didn’t look surprised and asked if I reached the river. When I told him I hadn’t he was more surprised and said: ‘They usually wind up just there in the river!’

I had a Marina 1.8 coupé in Damask Red but have no pictures of it being washed – unlike this one. It is from 1985 and my daughter is helping me clean my Triumph Dolomite Sprint.
