Marcos Maniacs

Hi Richard,

The distinction I was alluding to was that even if both groups belong to the
same 'club' (notice I said groups), it would not be appropriate for members
of one to represent the other. I've been a member of the Marcos Owners Club
for 30 years, long before they embraced Mini Marcos members, but I would
never presume to speak on behalf of the Mini Marcos, just as I would hope
Mini Marcos owners would not presume to speak on behalf of the coupe owners.
The only active Marcos affiliations I'm aware of in North America are the
Marcos Maniacs and the British based Marcos Owners Club.

Regards,

Paul, your observation is quite correct but not really pertinent. The
MMOC web site has a contacts page on which the other Marcos clubs are
listed. In some countries the national clubs may well embrace both Minis
and Coupés. I am not aware of other Mini Marcos clubs apart from our
associated group in Japan, though of course owners do tend to belong to
local Mini clubs as well.

I can't remember where the Canadian address came from, or the US one
for that matter, but probably from other Marcos sites. If they're no
longer valid I'll take them off. If you have any updates please let me
know.

Richard
