Finally!!!

This hastily taken shot is of a rare example of an early Morris Marina. The one that, every time I have seen around Sheffield, I haven't had my camera to hand. Sitting in traffic on Abbeydale Road, I saw it approaching and reached for the lens.
Yes the result is somewhat vague, but it will do until I happen upon this vintage partner of Howard again. And yes, the Morris Marina was a little outdated, even at its introduction in 1971, but these are one of those charming old curiosities that have disappeared from the streets since the days I fondly reminisce of.
