RE: [MarcosManiacs] The Perils of Owning a Mantis

2002-10-18 by McCubbin, David

Would a letter from Marcos (the current version of the factory) signed off
by Chris Marsh (or Jem), stating the nature of this vehicle to be a road car
with no racing history, be helpful?

Maniacs . . .

I just received a registered letter from my insurance broker, stating that
their underwriter has determined that "the 1970 Marcos is actually a British
racing car and they are unable to renew the policy."  Wow!  And these guys
have been insuring my 'racing car' for the last 7 years.  I don't know
whether they have my car confused with the Mantis XP, or with the 1990's
Mantis.  Anyhow, this should make for some entertaining correspondence this
winter, as I try to explain things to them.  However, it's an insurance
company, so my chances of prevailing are probably between zip and nil.

Canadian Marcos owners: please let me know who you're insured with (broker /
insurance company), as I may be looking for a new insurer.  Thanks.
