    Berlinetta in scrap yard

    Just found this on eBay while looking at engine parts seems a sad end to the car https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282331137608
    Hope the link works.

    I can't see an obvious sight of a registration plate being fitted.
    Without a 'good' V5 and properly registered, it's a parts only car.
    Shame.

      It was actually registered as a Marlin Berlinetta. DVLA record it as SORN.

        Out interest - How did you determine your information?
        Did you recognise the car and know it's past history?

          It has unusual bumper ends and a scoop on the bonnet which ID the car to http://www.stonefisk.com/Berlinetta/

                I understand nobody is "party" to anyone's personal situation, but when reading the information on "stonefisk.com/berlinetta, this car was his pride and joy, especially as his Father built it, what a loss it has ended up off of the road since 2008. To have taken the time to put together such a good article about the build, improvements undertaken and proposed for the future, plus all the photos seems such a shame for an iconic car to end up in a "Scrapyard". I must be careful on what I say as I have a Roadster [off the road at present], and a Hunter [recent acquisition, not as much fun as the Roadster but more comfortable for "she who must be obeyed" !!!!David.

                  Has anyone tried to by the remains? SWMBO would do unpleasant things to me if I got another project.

                    Noticed that it has now ended, would love to know if it was saved from the crusher, as I woud hate to think it didn't.
