Pan you are correct with door handles, but you need to think more laterally. Remember it's Rich that we are trying to think like here, never easy for us mere mortals

my mum told me never to think like people like THAT!

[Pandora]

If it's based on a mk1 and has Marina handles, it's going to be mid '70s, and if you don't know where you are going to keep it, it might be an open car, and it's very 'period'....?

I have an image of the guru in a Stimson scorcher or bug, but the worst thing is he's wearing a multi coloured swap shop scarf. not good with his jason king 'tache!

did they have doors though?

I pride myself on my knowledge of crappy '70s tat, but I'm stumped for something matching the description at the moment.

is it a van with a horific bodykit? purple fur fabric in the back and a steering wheel made from a chromed length of chain......?

Three wheels ?

Three wheels ?

and has Marina handles

al

I never said it 'had' marina door handles, I said it had a marina connection (but oddly, the door handles are the connection (if you see what I mean?))


the door handles are actually standard fitment, but the interior ones are made from the finest sapele wood (nigerian probably, eh mark! )

keep guessing!

mk1 mini converted to mk2 spec with other odd bits? rusty and dirty as we like them?
rally history as a tow car (TC)?

[graeme1293]

A Minnow GT - the ute with the funy looking hardtop with the Anglia-esque rear window?

Not a TC, or rally car or Marina though......

[InimiaD]

Clubby. Plenty of Rally history.
Connection to Marina = Rob Haynes. I'll fetch my coat.

[mk1]

Come on Rich,

Put them out of their misery.

[guru_1071]
