Re: [MarcosManiacs] Another Marcos on EBay

If some one is interested in this car, we could meet up and check it out! I thought we had all the Marcos in the Bay Area (I've never heard of this car)! I'm not sure what this car is but it looks to be in very bad shape. Let me know if I can help anyone.
Thanks

Definately a Mantula body. Probably a Martina with Ford mechanicals. It's only 2 hours away from me and only minutes away from Stephen in Mill Valley. I'll see what I can find out.

Hi everyone,

The car on eBay is definitely a post 1980 model, most of which were V8s. The giveaway is the lack of bonnet clips, which were superseded by a cable-operated locking mechanism similar to a pair of hood releases, and the design of the front of the bonnet is definitely from a later model. If this car has a 4 cylinder engine, it was probably a kit, though the bulge on the bonnet was usually to accommodate a V6 or V8. The vendor obviously knows very little about the marque and may have registered it as a 1967 to get it into the country.

It'll be interesting to see what it goes for. It's in such poor condition, I'd be surprised if it sells for more than a few thousand dollars. What a shame it was allowed to deteriorate so far.

Regards,

Paul Dransfield

Here's another Marcos on Ebay. It says 1967, but I don't think so.....
