Cheers,
Watto.

The Marcos 'design' is an acquired taste, but after a 2-year restoration and 12 months on the road it starts to grow on you :D

:) I'm sure I'd find a way to get used to it... I'm going to Tassie over new years, can I take it with me to see how it feels?

I like the shape. the fronts look a bit odd when they have the open section just forward of the bonnet. And without body kits they are just mint!.

I agree Hobson. Curly's car without flares is exactly how the maker intended.
The shape of the wheel arches is part of all Marcos's be they mini or otherwise.
Curly's car is an extremely well planned and executed example
