Hi,
Just my brief introduction,
Recently purchased a Marcos Mantula (ex works lightweight) needing a full rebuild, http://www.marcosmantula.com is my website detailing the restoration, please visit and say hi.
The above car adds to my collection of a MG Midget and a Honda CX500 Custom and yes I do need a bigger garage,
Regards,
Martyn

Hi Martyn
I work for the chap (who is now semi retired as an non exec director!) who bought Marcos in the early 90's, we all had a freebie trip to Le Mans in the mid 90's when they had a works entry with a couple of LM600's, Jaguer were the other British works team, neither of the Jags made it to the end so all the Jag fans moved their support to the one remaining Marcos which did finish , I 'll look forward to seeing your rebuild.

Hi Dave,
That's very intersting, was it in 1995 you were there as i recently heard that David Leslie who drove one of the Marcos cars at LeMans in 1995 was recently killed in an aircrash in June this year.
Do you still have any of the Memorbilia of LeMans ? and I am sure "Club Marcos" who are usually on the lookout for interesting related stories would love to hear from you,
Regards,
Martyn...... |
