*or is it a copy? That makes perfect sense 😎

next doors car? fiesta and mondeo parked behind in other shot

Kit car??

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.

Why whats wrong with a Dino?

It’s fake.

Hmmm, does look like a kit car?

Wonder what its based on?

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!

Blimey it’s obvious when you see the real thing!

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…

Most kit cars are, are they not?

Plenty of other donor cars used nowadays Al;

Fiesta
Cortina
Escort
Nova
Fiat 131
Sierra
BMW E30
2CV
MX-5

The list goes on and on…

Ah fair enough, remembe my bro being interested in the 70s, they seemed to be all Beetle based then, he went on to get a Capri…and now works as McLaren!
