Hi Everyone,
I have just bought a Marlin Roadster project with a view to completing and registering the car (Chassis No. 2-01028). I have bought it from the third owner, who now suffers from ill health and cannot continue with it. He bought it from the widow of the second owner, with no paperwork, so although the car is largely completed, there is still much to do to get her on the road. I have spoken to Dave Cunnington and Bill Jackson, who have both been very helpful.
From what I know so far, the donor car was a Morris Ital 1700. The engine runs, but I want to check it out further before driving any distance (which I can't do anyway, as it is not registered). I have started investigating the requirements of an IVA, and would dearly love to hear from anyone who has gone down that torturous route, and can help me navigate it.
I have some engineering and mechanical experience, but this is the first car project I have attempted, so any help and information will be gratefully received. I will be at the Newark Kit Car show on Saturday Morning and look forward to meeting as many fellow owners as possible.
Cheers
BobD
