Long-running kit-car makers Marlin Sports Cars is being offered for sale after 26 years in the same ownership.
Marlin is one of the UK’s best-established kit-car firms; it was founded in 1979 by Paul Moorhouse and has remained in continuous production since then.
It was sold to Terry and Mark Matthews in 1993, and the pair ran it together until Mark’s death from cancer in 2014. Now, Terry has decided the time is right to put it up for sale and is inviting ‘realistic’ offers from interested parties.
Rights to the 5EXi are included in the sale, or the model could be sold separately
Marlin’s current models are the BMW E36-based, Lotus Seven-style Sportster and the lightweight, mid-engined 5EXi and full rights, chassis jigs and body moulds to both would be included in the sale, together with those for the older Cabrio model. Alternatively, Terry says she’d consider a separate standalone offer for the EXi.
The new owner would also get access to all ongoing sales leads, plus technical support for an agreed period.
