Dave,
response from the seller, he is looking for more info - if you are not averse, I will pass it on to him or maybe i'll try to get an email address for you, but I have the impression he is French!!

Thanks Tony, he's welcome to email me, I understand a little French, and I'm happy to share what we've
got on the car, there is some history and pics in the UK


As ever, many thanks DC

ok, i'll send him your contact info!!
have a gud'un

so I think it is a YKC job, is that correct? my vin is similar, maybe ykc finished the build etc?

[dcunn]

SABTVR..... etc and similar type numbers are all "official" VINs in no way related to the Marlin numbers

My self imposed task is to ID the entire Marlin production - you may have seen something in Pitstop
about the chassis number series that Marlin used - and it's an ongoing battle, which is why you see
me chasing these things

Your Berlinetta is Marlin chassis 3-1495, it should be on a small plate on one side of the scuttle

These pics are of the "normal" locations for the small plate - however there were other places used

Thanks Tony. Interesting to see that it's now red, I have nothing else on it !

If this is the one I'm thinking about, would you believe I never had any contact from the seller ?

Of course you would !
