788029 2009-07-02 06:45:00 Na, I have one on my car, Alot ot people say thet are worth quite a bit as they so rare.. Im not too sure, as i dont know many Older people, Its off my Morris Marina 1975 password (5384)
788030 2009-07-02 07:02:00 Hmm. Morris Marina. Certainly 'old' (but what does that make me then!?). Hardly a classic. Unless it's a classic example of how to make a car badly.... Even in their day they had a bad rep. johcar (6283)

Those Monsoon shields were usually worth about a 12% increase in fuel consumption on a trip. They're worse than driving around with a stray ladder on the roof rack.

Ahhh, those were the days when petrol was soooo.. cheap. We just didn't care!!

I had one of those on a PAX Vauxhall. It whistled a merry tune at 60MPH.

788034 2009-07-02 20:52:00 The Morris Marina was the worst car made in the western world at the time.
It had many design defects.
I think the shield look supremely cool and would have wanted one in my own Austin/Morris/Riley/Van der Plas/MG/Wolsey days but couldn't afford to buy one.

What sort of prices back then?
