I believe this was the first (the prototype?) Hunter. It has a Ford V6 engine

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

Advertised wrongly I have seen the car. The engine is the Ford v6 ohv. Lots of tidying underneath and to chassis, running gear, etc complete going over needed. I believe it is very early so could be the first one. They were built with donor engines then. door hinge different etc. Needs work.

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

Nice looking. Where is it? Does the L plate make it Tax free? Just wondering.

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

Not tax exempt this is a 1993 car the L is at the start of the registration not at the end. L at the end of a registration would be 1972/1973 and tax exempt.

Cheers Danny, I wasn't sure with it being donor built. It is no longer available now.

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

16 bids £4700. The engine looks like a V4 but I could be wrong. Then the seller adds ' it is an early Cabrio'. Strange, No? Just counted the plug leads again 6, Doh! The engine room and interior is not immaculate

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

The Info given on the Ebay site is wrong on the last line. It has the standard Ford/ Paul Moorhouse front suspension.

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

Also see Danny's earlier post with regard to condition. Fast mark up on price and is buyer in for surprise?

Re: Marlin Hunter for Sale on Autotrader

The car was sold last weekend at the then advertised figure . Now advertised by new owner/dealer. There have been a lot of better Marlins sold for less during this year.
