This was the era of peak car production in the UK. Probably not our finest hour for some of the product though.

My first company car was a pooh-brown 4 door and it handled a lot better than the rusted-out MGB that I had been driving. It did have some tread on the tyres though. I thought the TC with vinyl roof and fog lights looked pretty good , but above my pay grade. I wonder why you don't get vinyl roofs any more.
Some months later I changed jobs and went to Richardsons to buy an MGB GT, and found my old MGB in their scrap yard. Anyone remember Richsrdsons, and their ads in Motorsport?

They really were awful. IIRC they only came into being because BL bottled out of making the Maxi their sole effort in that size and diverted development funding to a quick re-work of the Minor 1000. Any one else seen that?
There was a Bugatti replica in the For Sale park at Silverstone on Sunday with a £49k price tag (or thereabouts). A quick look at the front end revealed Marina derived torsion bar front suspension. The "for sale Park" I missed that...to busy talking to Morgan Directors and Morgan owners

Well done Rich.
I know that there is comedy inherent in the Morris Marina, but it's a relief to see the thread back in business.

Any truth in the rumour that MMC are looking to recruit a number of deaf Morgan agents to specialise in M3W's ? They won't be able to hear the constant whining

We had a pet rabbit that caught it’s claws in the cage. The vet had to amputate a claw off each foot but managed to sew them back, albeit onto the wrong feet.
Rabbit survived the op but eventually dies of mixamatoesis.
