Engine was rebuilt in 1998 by General Sporting to TR6 Spec of 150+ BHP. In 1999, Greg Tunstall QLD fitted manual overdrive box and power steering and adjustable 2500S front suspension including stabiliser bar.
- Errol and Margaret Bowes in Perth are the second owners of their Marina Turquoise 1969 Mk1, buying it for $2960 on 17 June 1970. The engine was rebuilt and the body resprayed Ice Blue in 1992 when a Mk2 interior with high seats was fitted. Later, because of health reasons, an automatic gearbox replaced the original manual. It was the daily runner until 1984 when that task was taken over by a 1976 Sebring White Triumph Mk2 TC.
