The 1991 Cabrio was an updated Roadster based on Ford Sierra parts.

Still very much a Marlin in looks, it is slightly wider inside and built around more up to date mechanicals, normally from the Ford Sierra. This car gives all the fun of the Roadster but with more modern comfort, suspension and power. Featuring an advanced chassis construction technique, this is the “posh” Roadster, and as with both of it’s predecessors can be made to accept a variety of engine options. The Cabrio is a superb “Grand Touring” car, and of late some Cabrios have been built using BMW mechanicals and power

In October 1997 the company was bought by Terry and Mark Matthews and they, as the new owners of the remaining Marlin marque, introduced the turnkey Hunter. Using the Cabrio as its base, the Hunter was a factory built car featuring a high quality of assembly but allowed customers to request features to make their chosen car unique.

In 2006, Marlin cars sold the rights for the Cabrio to Javelin Cars, who had worked with Marlin to develop the Mk 3 Cabrio that would use the BMW 3-series E30 model as the donor car.

Unfortunately due to a downturn in the economic market the only Javelin car produced was the demonstrator.
