          If Picasso painted a Marlin, that's what it would look like

            As a totally unrelated posting there was an ancient car rally passed my house this morning with the usual array of old british and French cars. One different 2CV with a Mercedes rad grill inserted and the bendy wheel mounted on top. Didn't have a camera, suffice to add it was all painted in(to me) an awful sh!tty brown metallic colour uuuugggggghhhh!

              No such thing as a bad Marlin in my opinion. It must have a mighty engine to need the bonnet raising like that.

                I've seen a Berli which had been adapted with additional storage & used as a commercial purposes & advertising board. From the picture it looks like some storage and spare wheels at the back, so maybe it's for long distance touring... ?? The strength of the Marlin Chassis does make it platform for such mods. ...Anyway, better being used than unloved & in a barn somewhere, waiting to be found !

                    I’m wondering if that isn’t actually a trailor, stood on its backboard?

                    Better used than neglected, I am sure we would all agree.

                      Old Smokey ,Marmite, I like it! Q560, There is obviously a lot of thought and work gone into it. Shame the radiator shell wasn't moved up to meet the bonnet. Someone must know the owner , a write up would be interesting. Is it me or is it a tall windscreen?

                        I was there all weekend but missed that one! The rod thing is strangely attractive... but over priced? Perhaps I shouldn't start pricing discussion!

                        There was a trial Roadster booked in for Display on Sunday, Nicks red and black car.
