  • Spot the difference...

    Something to do when the relatives are sleeping off Christmas dinner!

    See how many slight differences you can spot between these two Marlin Sportsters......





    There is no prize for the winner but I'm sure Dave will give you a mention in the next Pitsop for the highest score :-)
    You'll have to make a list!!
    I'll give you one very subtle one to start you off....one has an oil cooler and the other doesn't.....

      I laughed at that one!!
      I'm sure it is as I think Robin has it mounted just inside the 'cockpit' on the windscreen pillar.

      BTW there's lots more to spot........

                  Nice try, but I gave you the Oil cooler as a 'starter' in the first post and the 'Air Dam' is the number plate holder so Steve got that in his No.1.

                      Indicators - yours are down near the bumper, Robin's are on the wings.

                        Grill mesh appears "V'd" on one but flat on the other.

                          I'm afraid that has already been listed by Steve at No.2.

                            It is indeed, but I think that is covered by No.10 spotted by Pete.
