I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of the TC - real fun two drive. It was a fair bit quicker than the two BGTs I'd owned previously, despite having the same engine. Maybe the Bs were heavier. Or FUBAR.

The Marina TC is 200 Lbs lighter, and more aerodynamic than an MGB, and yes I preferred it to the 1975 Citron MGB I had
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 numberplate used on the trailer, removed from the tailgate of the tow car, and the spiffy Fiat X/19 alloys
