Showing as sold on Car & Classic and eBay listing ended. Good result and demonstrates what a well put together car can achieve.

I wonder if the new buyer was encouraged to join the MOC?

I looked at this in 2014 when it was last up for sale at that dealer. Was MOT's then. But I see it's neither taxed or MOT's now and is registered as a Morris. Last MOT was in 2014 so even if it was 'rebuilt' most perishables would need looking at again.

Have they had difficulty MOT'ing it, new regs perhaps, or because it's registered as a Morris and not a Marlin?

The first Sportster?

I still think this is the best looking roadster with cycle wings I have seen.

If my roadster had been damaged more than it was I would have copied this.

In the days of Marlin Engineering Paul Moorhouse had a design drawing on his office wall of a cycle wing roadster named Rooster.
