E30 based Marlin Sportster for Sale

That is a really excellent result. The price reflects the time and effort you put into building her. I bet you are really sorry to see her go.

I am. I don’t think it will really hit me until Sunday morning when the chap comes to pick her up. I hope the weather is nice for him… he’s driving her back to Kent. So not a short trip!

Sellers remorse always gets to me too. Sold a lovely 1996 TVR Chimaera 4L in 2018 and knew I regretted it the instant the logbook was handed over.

I sold my Sierra based Berlinetta in 2010 and I still miss it....and I sold the car I replaced it with in 2017 (not a Marlin) and I still miss that. In 2023 I parted with the blue Cabrio I bought in 2017 upon which I had spent a great deal of time and money in order to acquire the Hunter I have now. I console myself with the knowledge that there were compelling reasons for the sales on each occasion, and each car is now with an owner who's pleased with it. The Berlinetta was really lovely, but not suitable for my needs at the time. Its replacement fulfilled those needs in every way but one (it wasn't a Marlin) and I loved it. The blue Cabrio was a great teeth cutter...it taught me a lot about Marlins and was almost perfect....and the Hunter is everything the Cabrio was and a bit more as well. I'm providing a good home for the Hunter....the blue Cabrio has gone to a very appreciative new owner who is using it regularly and its predecessor now belongs to a committee member of that marque's Owners Club, who loves it as much as I did. The Berli is, I'm told , in Italy....a sadness, but someone there wanted it enough to pay the charges! Unless one has the time, the space and the resources to retain multiple vehicles, hard choices are a fact of life....and regrets over necessary partings are futile.
