Re: "Mantara"

2002-11-17 by Mark Saxby

I think that's generally true, but always believed the Mantula named 
was used because it ended the same way as Taran-tula (an eight legged 
thing) and the model was the first 8 cylinder Marcos?

Mantara, I've no idea on. Mantaray was I guess just a variation on 
Mantara to distinguish the shape and Mantis, of course, is a much 
used Marcos name.

Cheers.
