  • 1988 Marlin Berlinetta for Sale

    THIS CAR HAS NOW BEEN SOLD 19 09 2014


    The Car will not now be available until early August.
    If non members wish me to email them the photos please use the email address below.
    There will of course have been a new MOT by then.

    This Berlinetta was used as an everyday car by the builder until the last few years of his ownership and the car was only sold to me as he was emigrating on retirement.
    The donor car was a Cortina 2 litre GT with a 4 speed gearbox.
    A new Ford Pinto 2 litre was fitted 13000 miles ago with an electric cooling fan and a 4-2-1 RS 2000 exhaust manifold.

    In my ownership the items carried out professionally are:
    1- new clutch and forward gearbox seals
    2- new steering rack
    3- new high capacity radiator
    4- new shock absorbers all round
    5- new propellor shaft
    6- new Vredstein Classic Sprint tyres 185-90-15. 5 in number
    7- Accuspark coil and contactless distributor rotor ( magic!)
    8- routine servicing

    I fitted 2 new 'Interior Trim' seats
    Moto Lita wood rim steering wheel
    Power socket for satnav
    Boot extension in to the cabin to increase lockable storage. This removable with 4 bolts and 2 brackets and the occasional seats slot back in to place.

    I have collected some Cortina spares since 2008 from wheel bearings, disc pads, alternator, pumps, cables etc. There is also a Berlinetta hardtop from another Berli that needs restoring and fitting .

    The car has taken me to various M O C Meets. Exmoor, The Lake District, North Yorkshire, Northern Spain, Cornwall.
    The mileage is 123000 so is well sorted unlike my recent acquisition a 1400 mile Cabrio!
    Things to do, the hood is functional but shabby, the headlamp reflectors might be better .....
    Road fund licence until 31-03-15' M O T due 28-07-14
