    Newbie

    Hi folks,
    Just thought I'd say hello.
    I've just joined your club having bought a lovely red Roadster that I found advertised on Pistonheads and can't tell you how pleased I am with her!
    I'd love to know a bit more about the car. She was built by a Mr Gilpin from Yorkshire and the reg is PCP578P.
    If anyone has any info, I'd love to know.
    I hope to meet some of you in the near future at one of the events.
    So, till then,
    Cheers,
    Gareth.

    Welcome.
    There are a few databases held by members that might help.
    Is your car a Marina, Triumph or Hybrid?
    MOC member since 05/97
    1984 Marlin Roadster SWB.
    1800TC, Unleaded ported head, stage 2 cam. Ford Type 9 gearbox, Dolomite Sprint rear axle fitted with MGF disc brakes.
    Three core radiator, Renault Clio vented front discs.
    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.
