Funny how you don’t realise you haven’t seen something for ages, until you see it.
Found this roadster, apparently quite a good kit car, while wandering around Cathedral Square recently. Haven’t come across anything similar for years, or even a decent classic.

Seemingly not a stranger to the area, when I dug around I managed to find a number of pics of the same car taken in the same area dating back to 2013.
It’s a 1987 Marlin Berlinetta.
Seems they started around 1983, based on the Ford Cortina MK III or MK IV as a donor.
