PRESS RELEASE - from JAVELIN SPORTS CARS LTD.

For immediate release: 12 August 2006


'Javelin Sports Cars Acquire Cabrio Project'

Dave and Caroline Kitson who are active members of the Marlin Owners Club and proud owners of a V8 powered Cabrio, have acquired the complete Cabrio project from Marlin Cars and are trading as Javelin Sports Cars Ltd, based in Bradford West Yorkshire.

The name has been inspired by the proximity of the site of Jowett Cars, who made the world renowned Javelin sports car back in the 1950's. 

Building on the success of the original Sierra based design and the Mk.2 lwb car, Javelin will be working closely with Marlin to develop the Mk.3 Cabrio using a BMW 3-series (E30 model) as the donor car. Using the straight six 2.5 litre engine as the standard power unit, the new sports car will be available in three options - kit, part built, or as a fully built turnkey model. 

Marlin directors Mark and Terry Matthews are sad to see the Cabrio go, but the sale will now allow them to concentrate on other models in their own range. They are confident in Javelin that it is going to a good home and as Marlin are to continue to supply the chassis and engineering know-how, customers can rest assured that the new Javelin Mk3 Cabrio will perform even better than the earlier cars. 

Existing Cabrio builders will continue to be serviced with parts and assistance through Marlin, but for those wishing to start building a Sierra based Mk2, or order the new Mk3 BMW based Cabrio sports car, these are now only available through Javelin.

For further information please contact Dave or Caroline Kitson on 01274 619608.
