Marcos Maniacs

To fellow marcoses
I was surfing eBay and found several Marcos toy models for sale. I 
already have on old Dinky Marcos 1800 volvo with Red interior. The 
hood and doors open and the little plastic driver falls out. COOL

There is some interesting news for the model car enthusiasts among us.

I have spoken to Wim Noorman of Eurotech, who has told me they want to
produce some aluminium models (LM600/Mantis) in the course of April. A
limited number would be made available to Marcos enthusiasts. I already
havea number of people asking for these cars (scale ca 1/10-1/12). They will
cost ca 60 euro each. Those who have been at the Euregio Meeting the last
couple of years will know the models very well.

Through Bryan Price (who's scale model collection of Marcosses is simply
stunning) I got in touch with TW models. They reproduce the Mikansue model
(1/43) of the Ugly Duckling Gullwing. More-over, it is the only model of
the Gullwing that is available today, as far as I know. It might be a bit 
crude
or rough, it can be turned into a nice model with a bit of skill and
patience. The kit is available at 20 pounds plus postage.  As Trevor is
doing this as a hobby, he has asked me to gather any interest/orders from
Marcos enthusiasts and bundle them. He then can make a number of kits in
one go and send them of to who-ever has ordered them.

I any of you is interested in these models, I am happy to hear from you.

I've put a picture of the main part of the gullwing model on my web site
at: http://www/argonet.co.uk/minimarcos/marcos/gull.html

You'll see what Maarten means by "crude or rough"! They were available
at the European Kit Car Show at Detling last weekend.
