Both gone now, someone obviously offered the sellers some good money for them to finish the auction early, one of my pet hates, if it is an auction keep it that way.

I was in touch with Vango, they have discontinued the Marista. We bought the outwell Yosemite carpet. it is to wide at the point the Marista tent tapers in but for £5 my local tailors have taken my carpet and the template we made and bingo a perfect fit and cheaper than the Vango!
The nadina is the same shape as the maritsa, but smaller. Whilst the diagrams dont indicate at what point the sides slope inwards, the general measurements look similar (vango did tell me a nadina carpet would be suitable for a maritsa 600 although the maritsa 600 is narrower)
So the 700 is 510 (or 520 - I think it varies a bit from year to year) at the wide section and narrows to 320 where the porch starts. The 'length' of the living space is 275.
The nadina 600 is 470 at the wide section, and narrows to 320. The length of the living space is 260.
I think I could cope with the slight shortfall in length and width.
Realise I may be too late for the OP - but might be useful for future searches.
Just to confirm - put the Maritsa 700 up today - with the Nadina 600 carpet - its a fine fit (I put a photo on the review page). It doesn't quite get to the edges, which I knew from the measurements, but you aren't going to get a closer fit unless you can find a 700 carpet.
