That would explain why I thought I'd seen it before - I'd just watched Duel and recognised the numberplate. But not I'll have to watch 14x03 again and look for the rear lights, because that'd give the game away. Which means I'll have to look at all those Lancias again. I'll go and get my drool bucket...it now appears as though the Marina in 14x03 wasn't actually a Marina at all, but an Ital with a Mk3 Marina front end grafted onto it!
It looks like TG are faking cars again! :shock:
Just after the controversy with the fake Ferraris used during the 2009 TG Live tour has died down, it now appears as though the Marina in 14x03 wasn't actually a Marina at all, but an Ital with a Mk3 Marina front end grafted onto it!
Oddly enough, I saw a Marina parked around the corner from my house a couple of days back. I had to do a double take, as it has been a long time since I've seen one without a piano on it. True story.

If the MMOC were REALLY vindictive, they'd share this revelation with the Daily Fail ... we all know how much the Fail likes to make a meal of any piece of potential TG related controversy.
It's called "television". Even the Ferrari Daytona used on "Miami Vice" was fake - that's why Ferrari supplied them with a Testaossa for the later series.
As the Marina was not, not at all, the focus of the film and i can imagine getting a steady supply of new Marinas to destroy gets harder every day, "faking" a Marina by using another BL parts bin car with Marina decal attached to it is perfectely legitimate.
If you give me coordinates, I can have Kangaroo Air Piano Moving come by.
Some Marina Fanboy said:The Top Gear crew are told that they have to enter a Safari rally but their competitors are the German and Australian Top Gear crews...only catch the car has to be chosen for them and prepared WITH HELP for them.
Each country has a car they hate Chosen for them...
Germany....Trabant
Australia...whatever they think is bad
And Britain ...shock horror Marina...
Especially when the parts bin car actually is a Marina with different badging and revised bodywork. Same s**t, different label.
