I'm not looking for rational explanations here!

This is a thread for Marin-haterz and impotent internet flamers!

think it's a copy - the door handles look like they come from a Morris Marina.

Nothing HH - I was making a joke on Marins being commonly preceived as ugly and Dino's cool.

But the replica status (I thought the front overhang was short) confirms the owner has no taste!*

*I have just bought a Marin and of course cannot comment!

That's no more a Dino than I'm a ballerina*...

*Although truth be told I could certainly 'bust a move', back in the day...

EDIT: In fact, I reckon it might be based on a beetle chassis...
