Interesting ‘backdated’ Marlin for sale, interesting price as well!

On the day I posted about putting aero screens on JRR!

Very nice,useable vehicle at a not unreasonable price. Probably worth it. Personally I would prefer the look of the curved top aero screens with a gap between them. not as efficient draught wise but if you don't like draughts fit a hard top.

Hmmm, I must have a good solid miserly bone somewhere as I thought nice enough car but £26,350 is a massive price for a car that's still a Marlin roadster underneath. Yes, someone has put effort and thought into this but its still a replica. Generally kit cars do never return the fiscal investment of their creation.

But then this car is in Italy!
Would quite probably be worth a lot more with a proper Alfa engine and box.

we have a couple of Italian members, I wonder what they think?

I Have a clone as well. It needs finishing, although it now has an exhaust system and a grill

I'm definitely digging the cycle wing look of these cars....

A walk around video of a car is a great way of promoting it for sale.

No two roadsters are identical so, as the video clearly shows there are some curios design points like the stowage behind the seats, and the line of the exhaust, which were not obvious in the static pictures.

This car may not suit all tastes, but a few more walk around vids could spark some more creative ideas amongst the members.

That’s looking nice Derek, you’re good at this!

djj_engineer I do like this look, where did you source the rear arches from?
Also how did you mount the cycle wings? A few pics of what you have fabricated would be great.
Cheers, Martin.
