Custom made PCD adapters are used to change the original 3.75 pattern to 4x100. Original wheels with matching hubcaps also included.

Interior

The interior is one of the best features of this car. In bright red, it has a wow factor and is a very nice place to spend time. The front seats are from an MX5 and made to fit the original marina runners. The original seats are included if preferred. All upholstery is in excellent condition, as is the carpet and headliner. The dash is factory black and in excellent condition, with no cracks or sun damage. There is a DAB digital radio from classic car stereos fitted with 4 speakers. There has recently been a new old stock speedo head fitted as the original had given up showing what speed the car was doing but did still record miles(this original speedo is included) current mileage showing 50 miles on the clock. USB and cigarette lighter style power points have been fitted discreetly under the dashboard.

This car has been built as a passion project with no expense spared and is in fantastic condition for a Marina, it runs very well and is an absolute pleasure to drive and it's registered as historic so is tax and MOT exempt.
