    Was for sale at £3500 according to the sheet on the passenger seat.
    Would it pass an MOT? I cant read the date on the Tax disc!

    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.

      Tas disk expired last month, 09 '14, so presumably MOT's OK.

        I'm sure I know that car. Reminds me very much of a Marlin that was modded by a student of mine back in the day when I was a school teacher - around '95

          I have been in contact with the guy selling (or rather not as it didnt make its reserve) and I was right, he was a student of mine back in the 90s! I recognised the boot box he made as a CDT project for his A level course. I do know he is open to offers but needs £2500 out of it. He also races cars in the VSSC series so has several nice old vehicles around but needs to prune his collection a bit. Based near Chester (Northop) if anyone wants his details?
