Marcos Maniacs

Hi Richard:

How's life?

Did you and the family get thru the civil unrest OK? 

Any fun projects going on?

I acquired a Yamaha R1 powered Lotus 7 project kit car.

I have it running and have decided it will cure my "need for speed".
The car is just brutal.  I drove it for 65 miles and could barely walk for three days....
It also inspired me to put my marcos back to front engine front wheel drive.
I hope to start the project in a few months.
There is a big classic mini show in June 2012 in Prescott Arizona
This might give me incentive to get her done.....


Thanks for responding.
I guess I should head up a campaign to get the other mini marcos on the list.

Have you ever seen the Radical White Mini Marcos Race car for sale.
I wish I had the money to buy it and bring it to the new world......

Regards
Robin

Please look on the Mini Marcos web site. I can find ten on a quick 
search. If you know of any updates or can provide photos of any not 
yet included (even if no longer extant) please let me know.

8334 was first registered in the UK in 1980.

See http://www.minimarcos.org/memcars/7073/ . If that's not up-to-date 
please let me know.
