  • Marlin Sportster chassis kit back on ebay

    I think this starter kit plus potential BMW donor has been advertised at least once before at this time of year.

    If I didn't have a partner, a 9 year old, a 5 year old, a dog, a full garage and there was no IVA requirement I'd be tempted :-). I put a scratch built 3 wheeler through MSVA in 2005 and that was enough for me.

    But a straight six or V8 Sportster would help me tick one of the two of the missing engine option gaps in my automotive education that I need to fulfill - as well as the ubiquitous in-line 4 cylinder in OHV, SOHC, DOHC, and turbo forms I've also done V6, flat six and flat twin.

    A black V8 Sportster would be good for that "HWM Stovebolt Special" vibe (and much cheaper than a Kougar, which is what Simon Taylor owned before he fulfilled his childhood dream and bought the Stovebolt)

    Just need to win the lottery. Happy New Year everyone.

    Original builder of SWB Cabrio chassis no. 04-33 reg. no. CRN540Y - had a 2.8L Cologne V6 when I sold it in 2011
    Briefly owned Marlin Berlinetta Q670XBB for about 4 months in 2012
    Did own SWB Marian 1800TC Roadster Q741LPP - modified for trials by Fourtune Engineering
    Now own Marlin Sportster with 3.5L BMW straight six powerplant P764DOD - proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely!
