    I have found this YouTube channel particularly amusing.

    Toyota powered Classic Mini's are OK, but when did you last see an Invacar?

    1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

    Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

        When I worked at Bath Panel Beating I used to do the fibre glass repairs on them. To drive one was an experience, all controls were on the TILLER/HANDLEBARS type steering, pressing the tiller down activated the brakes which were so sharp you could lose your front teeth.
        I think the people who unfortunately had to drive one, were lucky not to sustain further injury, thank the gods for mobility companies.
