I bought this 'tina from York about 14 months ago - it needed a lot of work to the running gear and a few holes still need plating it is intended to be a running restoration, although it has been laid up awaiting spares for the last 11 months   |

Hi, A few years ago and it would be straight down the scrappers with it, but stick with it. Theres plenty potential and they can only go up in value. good luck  |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

value is not really important - i have always loved the mk5, had about 12 of them in the past and the colour
- Atlantic blue - is quite rare now - spares are still readily available and very cheap to insure a resto/ modified version
