There must be quite a few 'racks' around then, I too have one in the garage awaiting those long winter evenings for a strip down and check!

I've been meaning to ask, as I've been offered a place with the local Car Club, so I'm assuming this is not an 'Official' Marlin Club event then?

Two flat strips, with an extra one on top (underneath)? You can probably work out the dimensions.

It seals very well in Exmoor rain!

Congratulations ! :)

Thanks guys, it’s not the lower bearing it is actually the white plastic ‘sleeve/tube’ that I needed, you can see it just above the jubilee clip in the picture. There is a pair of these that slide...

[- Now you've got me worried, did I use the conversion for US Gallons in my fuel spread-sheet? -]

From a full tank at the start, we did 240 miles and the next top-up was 5.22 UK Gallons (23.75...

Just back from a long weekend in Malvern for the RHS Three Counties Show, taking in Hereford and some National Trust properties on the journey. I got to drive nearly 500 miles in the Marlin and...

I'll second that, looks like a great weekend you guys are having.

Bit of a long-shot, has anyone had any success locating the plastic sleeving that slips over the triangular rod, lower part of the steering column Scorpio/Granada/Sierra as part of the crumple/height...

Sorry to hear about the possible ‘infarction’ and Meg’s passing, but you’ve picked the right week to get back behind the wheel, enjoy !
