The beauty of these cars was the ease of repair lol. My first car, no laughing was a morris mariner ! I changed to gearbox in our driveway I wouldn't dream of doing that to today's cars !

Mine was a mariner as well, white when I bought it but painted it black with paint from Woolworths and gold go faster stripes from Halfords next door - don't know if you had to declare the colour change back in the 70's.
Remember changing head gasket, snapped two of the bolts taking it off, no skimming it just changed the gasket and bolted the good ones back in and never had a problem.
Rusted like nobody's business but MOT's were easily bypassed for an extra £2.

I still have a brand new city sunvisor strip I bought me dad when I was about 8 as a Xmas present,he wasn't keen on getting his windscreen bricked and 50 years later I'm still wondering if it's safe put it on my car now

Okay. I'll unlock this now. Pretty please, with sugar on top, let's stick to the topic of the thread.
