In brief...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Devon-based racing and kitcar maker Marlin is planning to introduce a new 'ultra-modern GT' next year, with a roof and a raft of aerodynamic upgrades that will be honed on the race track.

The new car is a development of the 5EXi, a 600kg lightweight racing and/or road car that Marlin has been campaigning in the Castle Combe GT Championship for the last three years.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There may be more intrinsic value in the new model would be my imeadiate thought.

To be sure there is no market for built 5exi's so you got to really want one to buy a new kit. MikeR's car is an outstanding build, but Mike cannot find a buyer.

If anyone offered me my outlay to date I would sell and buy a Cat D.
I am 95% to road legal complete but the IVA will add little value to the car.
