Bought this mk1 Marina Blue - known on here?

Hi all
I’m the new proud owner of this little thing. Not much in the way of service history, so I was just wondering if it’s a known car on from perhaps a previous owner being a member?

Lots of plans - firstly (admin edit)…

Don’t know the car, but it looks really good. Is it as good as it looks? My Mk1 looks great in pictures like this, but get up close and not so much. Nice colour - shame about the wheels, so I agree, need something else.

Have a lot of fun in it!!

Looks top dollar on the top-side Martyn, very smart.
Mariner Blues are pretty rare these days.
However, given it’s typical “rights of passage” MOT “CV” I expect you will be doing a nose to tail under-cracker inspection & issue fixing…you did say you had plans.
If it’s a keeper go to war on any chassis & suspension rot you find.
Been there…believe me!

Good stuff, and good luck.

Underneath good too, but defo the usual brown suspension components!
