I bet that gives CompoSimmonite some ideas. An Extra-LWB Roadster!

But it must have a massively long remote on the gearbox, perhaps it's an Auto.

Doors and windscreen look to be from MG Midget/ AH Sprite

If I remember right, unlikely. A Midget/Sprite bulkhead and body to behind the doors was used. There was a similar British one that used a mini body shell from the bulkhead back.

If you have half an hour to waste imagine the MOC making a video about the Marlin. Classic neo classic now there's a description.

Managed 3mins of the video - music was from that Yorkshire vet series and the actors from Acorn Antiques - I only hung in for 3 ins to see if Julie Walters was in it :-)

There was a "stretched" version of the Midget called the Dragonfly

That Clenet is definitely spridget screen and doors. I googled it and found that, " Clenet is arguably the most beautifully-styled automobile series ever built. Each limited-production model was conceived, designed, and produced by a small team of dedicated men and women in Santa Barbara County, California in the 1970s and 1980s."
PS I restored three spridgets back in the day and always wanted a Dragonfly - never found one! Too old and fat now!
