  • Earlpart is now closed

    I am a bit late in posting this but one of the last suppliers of Marina spare parts has ceased trading.

    The complete stock of parts was purchased by Dave Kingerley of https://www.obsoletecarspares.co.uk/ possibly worth contacting him direct.

    Occasionally Speedy Spares in Brighton have been mentioned as a possible source, but they specialise in Rootes group models.

    Many of the parts that Earlpart sold for a Marina were and still are available from the many Triumph parts dealers, I expect this to impact Marina owners, far more than Marlin Roadster Owners.

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

      Years ago I sold them many thousands of pounds worth of spares when I cleared out two old BL dealers. I have in recent years bought some of those spares back for my BL offerings strange how these things happen
