Spotted in Castleford

I forget which generation (the GT4 was same shape?)

I didn’t get chance to see how good a conversion it was
A Escort 4-door next to it too!

He's back again - not dead yet.

De-bumpered, perhaps because it had the big rubber ones.
An MGA passed a moment later, but I wasn't quick enough.

On back roads from Stanford bridge to Malton.
American cafe I expect!

1974 Morris Marina coupe, not sure if I like the wheels and suspension tweaks but it was clean as a whistle.

That angle is quite flattering, nice looking. I had an 1800 TC Coupe, quite old by the time I got it but it drove ok, wasn't a slouch, didn't really suffer from rust.
Another example of how BL cars suffered badly reputation wise but there were good examples that survived well, were simply a no nonsense car, did what they said on the can, no more, no less.

Not a classic in my eyes but the old yank tanks are to others . Pretty sure it's a Lincoln MK2 but please educate me

Dad had '76 1.8 Marina, we had none qualified speed test, where you are sat at a specific junction, down the road is a hump, you set off from the junction & see what speed you are doing as you hit the hump, the Marina faired very well, seem to remember it was around 80mph.

Can't do it any longer as they've now built a housing estate so no longer safe, if it ever really was.
