  • Hi from Norfolk

    I don't have a Marlin yet , but do know from a friend of a friend, of a roadster that has not been advertised yet, as this is quite a way to travel , I'm trying to find out if we would actually fit in it ,previously we have had a Ford based Spartan & although I like the look of the Marlin Roadster just wondering if it could be too narrow inside for us, as think they are narrower than Ford Spartans, does anyone have any measurements ,width across between inside of the doors would be useful

            Just popped out to measure my car (a MK2), narrowest point, chassis close to the floor, is 92-93cm from side to side. There is a cm each side extra at hip height when seated. The Transmission tunnel at that point is 16cm.
