Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Are these long or short wheelbase figures?

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Hi Jeremy.
The figures Adrian has posted are SWB.

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Hi Jeremy, Let me have a look and I will see if I can find the LWB if yiu require it?

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Hi Jeremy, cant find data but my red LWB is 6" longer in the cockpit. I dont think they changed anything else. So the wings and doors are 6"longer that the SWB.

Hope this helps.

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

LWB has 6" greater wheelbase and overall length.
The extra length is in the cockpit.
Weights will be a little higher.
Have a look at http://marlinownersclub.com/forum.php?read=17432&cat=0#n17500

Hopefully the new website will include this sort of basic data so that non members can look up all variants of Marlins.

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Thanks very much, currently looking for a roadster and was told that the SWB would be too small as I am 6ft 2in tall. Sounds like the LWB will be ok though - just need to find one!
Cheers

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Recommend you try to sit in a few Jeremy. Longer legs means higher knees which then hit the steering wheel. A steering wheel can only get so small!
Enjoy your search.

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

Jeremy,
If it helps I am 6 ft and fit into a SWB, admittedly with not much to spare. I suspect girth has as much influence as height!
Would be worth a trip to Stoneleigh - usually an assortment of all varieties on display.

Re: Marina based Roadster Data

I certainly plan on going to Stoneleigh, so look forward to having a good look and perhaps trying a few for size.

If you come to the Club stand and make yourself known I am sure we can find some cars for you to try for size.

Hi Jeremy,

Have you considered the Berlinetta? Plenty of leg room. There is one advertised on this site and is only about 60 miles away from you.

Thanks everyone for the offers, I am looking forward to having a good look at the cars at Stoneleigh.

Will be with Huw in his Berlinetta but its okay I have still not succumbed to indoctrination!
