Marcos Maniacs

Hi all, thanks for adding me to the group. I'm a Brit but live in Los Angeles and now after years of admiring the Marcos GT am now looking to buy so if anyone has any leads I'd be very grateful. I'm looking for a steel chassis car, (preferably in the US and a pre '73) and don't mind a project. Also details of any Southern California Marcos events would be great!

Cheers all

I might be interested in selling my 1985 Marcos Mantula originally owned by Chris Larwence of Brit racing fame.   It needs nothing is powered by a 3.5 V8 EFI Flapper with only 16k miles. It can be seen on YouTube Mike Sullivan Marcos autocross and Mike Sullivan British V8 in Google.  The pics and video were taken a while back I have done a number of improvements.

At what price? I live in Florida and the transportation would be much.

I'd like to respond to the fellow looking for a Marcos GT in Los Angeles.  I'm in Gardena and have a 1970 Marcos Gt with Volvo 3 liter engine and automatic transmission.  I have a spare 3 liter with 4 speed and overdrive and the nice magnesium alloy rims (5).  The car is a complete project, to say the least, and I would consider selling it to an interested party.John Franks

Has the transmission been altered to fit the Marcos?

Regards,
Larry

And I thought I had the only EFI Mantula in the US.  Mine is an 85 with 16k miles.  No. 8153
