You have the successor to the adorable MG 1100. Do I really always mention
1100's? Your car is _almost_ as cute as mine, but yours has a much bigger
engine. In fact, it's an MGB engine. Other than that, I don't know much
about Marinas. However, I knew some people in San Diego who bought one new
in '74 and hated it. When the brake master cylinder went out under warranty,
they decided that the car was a flaming piece of junk and traded it in. Is
yours maroon? Were the original owners named Cesena? If you'd like, I can
introduce you to these people.
