Marlin Roadster
I built this car from a kit designed and built by Paul Moorehouse. The kit of parts was shipped by a work friends husband when he had a gap on his lorry coming back from the west country.
The base car was a rusty old purple Morris Marina 1300 saloon, stripped down in a barn on a farm up near Park Wood Estate; now residential housing I think.
Driven all over the country and then sold to get a 'normal' car to further my career as a publican. You can't get any luggage in a Marlin!
From: 2 February 1984
