Anyone in the forum ever owned a mini marcos? I would love to restore one as my next project (could be hard to find, but might import). If anyone has some pics I would love to see them, and know any information about anything different about them compared to minis!

Thanks,steve.

heard of one for sale from a deceased estate up near Kempsey. apparently its a wreck, but the executor thinks it is worth a fortune. look on the MCC NSW website for contact Brian Falls from Mini Enthusiasts Mtgs - he was the one who had the details.

gook luck

Hi

I had a look at a Marcos a while ago. A good place for information is teh minimania.com forum as a few guys on there know about them. I made up a file full of photos. If I can find the disk I will post some here.

There was a guy in NZ who had a shell for ages and I thought abiut it for about 6 months, finally decided to do somethinga and contacted him and he had sold it two days earlier.

I know of 2 marcos owners, one from NZ from a well known mini racing family.. brother in law to my mate in Japan. who would be a great sorce of info.. and of one in briz which may be for sale (unrestored) you wont find one cheap anywhere though. but if your realy keen??

Here ya go, I'm sure I have some more somewhere

Matt Read is now selling a fibre glass roof to enable Marcos copies. I think that he charges about a grand each.

No Rupert,,,i do a "Monaco" fast back mini roof,,,different kettle of fish

My dad has a "Marcos" tho,,,pics on my web site,,,i got it going for him ages & ages ago & the bugga won`t bother driving it
