General comments?
Ah, my first ever car. The TC Marina 1750 coupe. It was a great car - for a while. The engine was its best feature, and it did motor along, but look out for those corners! It handled uummm - sorry it just didn't handle.
It was also quite comfortable & roomy inside, but that was about it. Got sick of trying to maintain it and traded it in; I think they melted it down.
