Practical Classics - Morris Marina
Tony Green, Technical and Innovation Manager, and Dean Proctor, Regional Trainer, came to the rescue of Practical Classics magazine’s project car earlier this month, replacing the heated rear screen and windscreen of the second oldest known Marina Coupe.
Sharing its birth year with Auto Windscreens, the car was built in 1971, and has been stripped down and restored by Editor Danny Hopkins, with the help of Marina Club. Tony and Dean are at latest stage of the process to help bring this classic car back to life. Check out the progress of the car so far:
