67 marcos

[Black 1071 S]

As I've got lots of spare time on my hands( ahum) I decided it was time to do the Marcos up, as it has been sitting in and around my shop for about 4 years now.

I bought it a a bare shell some 5 years ago, kept it for dustcollection, and just before IMM denmark we decided to take it to the IMM so mounted parts and did a testdrive to Denmark :p

then it sat infront of my shop for a year, I took it to IMM Netherlands, to MITP that year, and left it sitting again afterwords.

Now I have taken some ( late) eveninghours to do the bodywork needed, and now it's ready to go for the painter!

lovely! I've always fancied a nice early Marcos as a stripped out track car.

this wasn't the car Jim Lowrey had for sale for a while? Chassis number 4 or 7, I think. Maybe his was blue?

This one has spent most of it's life in Holland, so I don't think so. We are led to believe it used to belong to one of the Dutch racing teams. However research is still being done to back the story up.

Well... here's the result, last sunday it's debute at Zandvoort!!

Lovely!

I notice the first letter has fallen oo the writing on the wing - I assume it was run by the French automobile racing team ?

You mean F.A.R.T ?

[Toby]

You mean F.A.R.T ?

A.R.T. stands for Algemeen Racing Team, it was a Dutch team that raced on the Zandvoort track, to just mention one

The Marcos is a replica of the one they raced back in the day. Here are some pictures of the car it is based on :

Is it this one : http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/162091455.htm?ca=12_s

or this one : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-Marcos-MK3-/ ... 43a5988ab3

?

There's a small difference with the price, maybe the taxes between £ and €... !

[Black 1071 S]

Well spotted

The price difference is the fact that the french askingprice is a askingprice, and the Ebay price is the minimum price to start with...

you interested?

You weren't by any chance influenced by this when you built it?



Great looking Marcus by the way.
