    Hi Simon,
    Thanks for the compliment. Finished the build in 2003, been tinkering ever since. It's a joy to drive, and I never tire of driving or talking about it.
    Will bear you in mind, but my two son's and grandson are already in the queue!
    Hope you had a good holiday in Exmouth.
    All the best.

      Brilliant, even better to pass it down through your family and great that your younger generation love Marlins.

      My middle son is living in Exmouth whilst doing a PHD at Exeter so it was him that spotted your car and sent me the photo, although I spent many happy holidays on the south Devon coast in my youth. My Dad always had interesting cars so I inherited his love of cars and driving. Sadly my own sons aren't showing any inclination that way at the moment so you are lucky.

      May you have many years of happy Marlining.
