that's epic, need to try that in the studio at some point next week...

OP- pics? History? Always nice to see a kit get re-comissioned.

out of interest, is this the marlin roadster or the marlin 5exi? or some other marlin I'm not aware of? Always good to hear of cars being brought back to life

so...so...Marlin = Morgan Replica?

never seen a Morgan like that....

VW=BMW Replica?
never seen a VW like that.

maybe its a rare Mercedes-Replica from Porsche?

no? still NO? NO, NO, NO?

ok-ok!!!!

...to bring some light in the darkness of the unknown people:

marlin = replica of an alfa romeo from around 1930

by the way: the light blue one is missing another 5 mirrors somewhere on the bonnet!!!
