Re: Roadster project on Car & Classic

Back on eBay with body assembled and further work done: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/marlin-roadster-kit-car-barn-find-unfinished-project...

And using my photo! Still at least the seller's credited me for it #LOL (that's Laugh Out Loud ... )

Yes it is but the ad is nearly a year old.

Since been "reduced to produce"
Pic dated Oct 2015, a sad end to a historic vehicle.

As a historic vehicle,

Somebody should write the full history of 'Purple Peril' for Pitstop.

I posted really for the interesting 'historic' pictures!

Sorry, Peterx, reading that back it does seem critical, which it wasn't meant to be. I only intended to point out that it was 'historic'; as illustrated by dcunn's more recent one.

This one (Q207 WRX) now back on the road and for sale again. Shame the (priceless?) one piece bonnet has had a hole cut in it, why do people do irreparable damage to vehicles when 'restoring' them?

Anyway, would still be a good buy as I recall it was a cracker in it's day.

Looks like it's had a downdraft conversion and the filter will not fit without modifying the bonnet. I had the same problem with mine.
