The Berlinetta was launched in 1983 version using Ford Cortina Mk III or IV parts.

Of those who had bought Roadsters originally, some now wanted more room for offspring and partners who also wanted to enjoy the fun of the Marlin. So 1983 saw the introduction of the Ford Cortina (later, Sierra) based Berlinettas as a 2+2 coupé. This came complete with previously unheard of luxuries such as wind-up windows, a lockable boot and a hardtop option. A touring car rather than a sports car, sales of the car were fewer than the Roadster, mainly due to the more limited market for such a car.

The car’s curved windscreen top is a positive identification. This came complete with previously unheard of luxuries such as wind-up windows, a lockable boot and a hardtop option. As with the Roadster, the Berlinetta could be made to accept an almost unlimited number of different engines. A touring car rather than a sports car, sales of Berlinettas were fewer than the Roadster, mainly due to the more limited market for such a car.

In 1993 the rights and production of the Roadster and Berlinetta models were sold to YKC Engineering in Yorkshire. Over time, as well as updating the Roadster and Berlinetta using Sierra suspension, YKC added the Romero, Raider, Mille Miglia, Julietta and Immola body variants to their line-up. These latter cars, although mechanically up to date and SVA compliant, retained many styling features familiar to Roadster owners.

Don Burt, who owned YKC cars, retired in 2006 and the business was acquired by Milan Mladenovic and re-badged as Aquila Sports Cars, who launched their Julietta S at Stoneleigh in 2006, however the business did not prosper.
