So just for you, here I am along with my friend Matty, dragging a Damask Red Marina TC Saloon back from Bristol to Newcastle with the Russet Brown Marina 1700L estate....circa 1993.


Note the tightwad use of the numberplat used on the trailer, removed from the tailgate of the tow car, and the spiffy Fiat X/19 alloys

It’s a VERY long time ago now (c. 1975 maybe), but that one on the trailer looks identical to TC I had.
