Marcos Maniacs

Hi all,

Does anyone have any more knowledge of the whereabouts of the Mantis 
XP?  There are 6 of us Marcii owners in the San Francisco Bay Area 
and if it's here we sure would like to find it!!  

I wonder if Jem or Rory or anyone from that period would have any 
info?  If anyone has any leads please share them!!

By the way, the yellow V6 (located in southern California)on the 
Marcos Maniacs website is for sale.  Has only 28K miles and was 
purchased in L.A. in 1971 (?) from Jem's nephew after it was shown to 
the press.  Don't know the price but I can contact the owner if 
anyone is interested.

If anyone wants to own a Marcos XP there is one way. Ebay #1702949910 
has one for auction for a $1. Smaller than the one below but 
affordable.FYI it expires Friday PM I think.

Has anyone else seen Classic and Sportscars this month?

As well as a multi-page article on Jem and Marcos, there's also a 
half page or so, in the Lost & Found section (near the front) on the 
Mantis XP.

Richard Falconer is credited with informing them that it's in "San 
Francisco" and has been started and 'may run" - Well, we all know 
that last summer it DID run :^)

The rest of the story is recounted much as Dave McGill and I recount 
on our websites (down to the addition of the 8 track by Tom). There 
are a few period photos.

Don, you might want to send C&SC a couple of your excellent shots and 
an update - They often follow articles up with letters from people 
with more information.

Cheers,

Mark

Mark,

Do you have an email address for the mag?  Or a snail-mail address 
would work.  Can't seem to find anything on the net.
