Guess I was wrong.

Wikipedia says Hyundai hired George Turnbull, the former Managing Director of BL to develop the Pony... because of his experience with the development of the Morris Marina... no wonder Hyundai had horrid quality issues.

Even more depressing than the story of his life was the assortment of vehicles on the streets of Macclesfield in 76-80. I was actually surprised that there are enough Marinas/Allegros/Vivas and their ilk still running to provide that period look to the film.

Applied to Marina, the Ziebart treatment is able to not only block the crumbling forces of oxidation, but also ensure the little Marina can float on water (hence the name) and build up enough electrical charge to act as a supercapacitor, wasting would-be thieves in seconds. Add some bulletproof glass and diamond plate and you'll have an impenetrable dreadnaught.

Everything in France is better.

Don't believe me? Fair enough. Let me give you some examples.

Food : Fresh fruit and veg and meat every morning vs supermarket's frozen goods section
Drink : Anything from Bordeaux against a cheaper Bordeaux out a UK supermarket at a higher price
Cars : The country that made the Citroen DS vs the country that made the Austin Allegro
Staples : The baguette vs sliced bread
Language : The country with two words for a chocolate croissant vs the country where sausages are part of a breakfast
Climate : Sun vs what climate? All we get is rain
Sport : Zenidane Zidane vs David Beckham in a fight...I know who my money would be on...

Oops. My bad. Morris, Austin, makes no difference. These are premier automotive turds, thank largely to the unions at British Leyland at the time. I remember a nine month old example coming in for repair that had serious rust issues. From the looks of that particular car, Leyland thought a single coat of paint on top of un-degreased metal was sufficient. No primer. Just a single coat of babyshit beige. You could remove paint with your thumb nail. QC? They hadn't heard of it, and weren't interested anyway.

Let's see,take a complete P.O.S. (as in the day it rolled of the assembly line),and then install a decidedly "shade tree" "hybrid" system,what could possibly be hell about that?
To be fair,as the seller notes,you can remove the components and then sell the Marina for it's collectible value,I mean,we've all seen what a pristine Marina will go for at Barret-Jackson....

Electric cars are supposed to be so quiet they're a danger to pedestrians.
So use a Marina, with that clunking from the subframe, bits of trim falling off, creaking vinyl interior, screeching wheel bearings and the Alka Seltzer fizz of corroding bodywork - it'll have passers-by cowering in doorways. Brilliant!

Years ago (the last time oil got expensive) my Dad acquired all the parts to do this to our Volvo 122 coupe after the BW35 autobox-from-Hell went out. Again. We've still got 'em in the basement even though the 122 went away in the Great Ridding of Volvoness circa 1988. We traded for a bunch of tools that we use to this day, so I think we got the better end of the deal even though we still miss the 122.

Hmmm, I'm unemployed right now. And there's a riding mower in the barn that needs a motor.

This is the kind of hybrid you wont feel like a dipshit while driving it.

I, too have been scrounging the back alleys of the interwebs looking for serious commuter PCH machines. An electric 914's lookin' really good right now.

You mustn't tempt me like this.

Trust me on this.
