  • PROJECT - Marlin Kit Car Fiat Twin Cam Engine Spares Or Repairs

    Not sure if this has been listed on eBay or here before. I sort of recognise it but don't recall from where.

    Anyway, Triumph based with Fiat engine for very brave person!

        May not post to Spain!
        The shame is that it's worth very little more than a bundle of spare parts.
        No V5 mentioned so it's unlikely to be restored back to road use.

          http://www.marlinownersclub.com/foru...er-for-rebuild that was the car that came with the house and the panels were for sale separately. There was also another engine if I recall.

            This is the "basket case" recently sold from Carlisle area.

            It used to belong to John Wall, who was Cheltenham area organiser for the MOC in the early 80s - despite earlier thoughts I reckon it must have been on
            the road, but no paperwork or evidence trail to point to a registration number
