I came across a reference to this website by a fellow Marlin Owner.

The old sales lierature and build manuals provide a fasciating insight to the origins of the Marlin Roadster and Sportster.
The prices will make you weep!

I hope you enjoy browsing through them like I did,

I built one of those! I must scan in some of the old pictures that I have. I must say it was easier than the Sportster... I'm not sure what that says about the kit car industry.

I have a 1973 Marlin Roadster so these will be very interesting to look over.

Cool, if I had more space I'd be tempted to find a used one :D
