My roadster marlin n series of 2456

Re: My roadster marlin n series of 2456

From what we can see in the pictures the Front Suspension, and Engine and Gearbox are Morris Marina. It looks as though the car was recently converted from UK Right Hand Steering to European Left Hand Steering. The Rear axle is therefore going to be Morris Marina.

Send me your email address, I may be able to help more.

Is the car French Registered or still UK Registered?

Does the club archive not contain any information on this chassis number or registration number?

From the Engine code 12V it is indeed a Marina Engine.

I have emailed Jean several documents including Ben's Chassis difference drawing, BMC engine codes, Brake section from BL Parts List, Brake section from BL Workshop Manual.

I am afraid he has a lot of translating to do but the pictures should help.

Factory date for the kit.......... Oct 83 colour CREAM several owners 2456M "M" denoting Marina based.

The car is correct its the "Triumph" on the made up vin plate that is wrong.
