    Seems OK from this side of the water...if slightly sluggish.
    Border control on images is taking Brexit a step too far
    Marlin Roadster, LWB...1860 B Series + Ford Type 9
    Renault Espace 54mm front calipers, vented discs, cycle wings and adjustable tie-bars.

        still the same, just get the header pic, a pixelated red roadster on each page - reason I want to access the gallery, couple of weeks ago in Le Faou, there was a pre festival Maritime Brest gathering, I was there with my local boat modelling clubbut whilst ambling to the local town hall for lunch lo\and behold 2 x uk kitcars, one a(N) NG and the other a green roadster, which had apparently a straight six Triumph lump - the owner was typically French, just wanting the pose, flying jacket, pilots helmet, period wrap around goggles etc little knowledge of the cars origin, he bought it from a local dealer etc french reg'd but it looked extremely well presented, same with the NG, based on a MGB GT.
        The Roadster guy lives around Botmeur just south of Morlaix, should have got some pics details etc , however he did take my contact details, phone no, email etc I await his call as he also wants to view a close neighbours car, a unique Delaney Delta(the only one, do a google search) a beautiful piece but expensive I guess +£25k€
        Hopefully eventually I should have some detail for dc's archive!

          Look forward to the info Tony, and some good pics please.
          I wonder if it could be this one, sold July 2014 within France, it has a Triumph 6 engine. This is the only pic we have.
          Was previously UK reg NCV 655X

              Early Roadsters had one piece grp front wings, quite early in the production (Hybrids ? Marina based ?) they became ally and grp.

              Like all things to do with later Roadsters the kits were made up from whatever parts were in stock.

              I used to think that the body tubs were a good guide to production date - wrong !

              Here's another green French Roadster, Marina based yet badged to say a 2.0 engine, partial registration is A-------------H
