Betreff: [MarcosManiacs] Mantis XP2 race car

2004-12-22 by Christian

Hallo Andy,
ich denke wir haben hier ein Missverständnis, Du gehst von dem grünen Mantis XP aus, der das Rennen in Spa bestritten hat. dieser Wagen ist in Californien und es gibt im Netz einen sehr umfangreichen Bericht aus 2003. Website kann ich Dir gerne raussuchen.
Der XP2 ist für mein Verständnis der Mantula mit JE Engine. Dieser Wagen wurde anfang des Jahres in Japan über EBAY versteigert, kein Renneinsatz nur drei Testfahrten = praktisch neu. Käufer war in Holland, ist aber unbekannt.
Schönen Gruß auch von Klaus Tweddell. Hast Du Deinen Gullwing aus Japan zurückkaufen können ?
Christian

Hallo Christian,
The Marcos XP2 race car was sold on eBay? When did that happen? I thought
the XP2 was in California.
I think I remember a Marcos website dedicated to the XP2. It had
photographs of the green XP2 in California with a Chevrolet 350 motor.
I hope the buyer will conduct a full restoration. Who is the lucky owner???
Beste Grüße u. Frohe Weihnachten! (Happy Holiday Greetings to All)

GERMAN TEXT (English Text is below)

Hallo Christian,

Danke f\ufffdr die Erkl\ufffdrung.  Jetzt verstehe ich.  Nein, leider habe ich nicht 
das Gullwing in Japan gekauft.  Aber ich kaufte das 1966 Mini Marcos Werks 
Rennwagen 270DGJ in England.  Die Geschichte ist jetzt an diesem Internet 
Link:

http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/memcars/7000.html

Sagen Sie bitte "hallo" und "frohe Weihnachten" zu Klaus!  Er ist mein Hero. 
  Fragen Sie ihn nach dem Eifel Klassik Rennen von 1996 und wie er meine 
Gullwing Rennunfallbesch\ufffddigung auf einer regnerischen Nacht reparierte!

Mit Freundlichen Gr\ufffd\ufffden,
Andy

Hi Christian,

Thank you for the clarification.  Now I understand.

No, I have not purchased the Gullwing in Japan.  But I did purchase the 1966 
Mini Marcos race car 270DGJ in England.  The story is now at this Internet 
Link:

http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/memcars/7000.html

Please say hello and Merry Christmas to Klaus!  He is my hero.  Ask him 
about the Eifel Klassik race of 1996 and how he repaired my racing accident 
damage on a rainy night!

Best Regards,
Andy
