    He can have a look at mine in Horsham, although it won't be possible until the New Year.

        It's just that I'm away now until xmas, and then the usual festive stuff - the offer stands if he decides to wait on the ebay car. There always seems to be a reasonable Roadster on there most of the time...

          Judging from what I have seen I would say that there is at least 50 Roadsters sold on eBay every year. No shortage of choice there.
          I dont know how many LWB were ever made but I would guess at less than 10% giving an extra 6" of legroom.

          Has anyone else any idea of numbers of LWB Roadsters?

          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.
