Anyone had any experience of this? Quality, ease of construction etc.

Certainly does!

There's a write up in the new issue of CKC, I think. Haven't read it yet.
Not a replica but an 'homage'.
Not sure whether I like the door treatment and will cry out for turbo/superchager to give performance to match impression of the looks.
IMHO, of course

Gets my vote if its that or an exocet!


maccmike - 26/7/12 at 07:53 PM

coupe looks well

Like it bar the slightly naff looking tail pipes.

Possibly more appealing due to the lac of IVA (I assume) though.

There just had to be one with a GTO reg number !

Looks too short and high for me.

Look closely! It's a Mini Marcos.
Except this time stuck onto a pore helpless Mazda. Crap in 1969 but revived... again.

They are quite cunning photos - if you see a full side on view of one it doesn't look right at all..........

An MX5 with a standard hard top look miles better IMHO. Unless it makes the car much lighter I don't see the point.

Doesnt look too bad to me:

I have to say, for what is it, it looks really quite nice to me.

That said, it can but be heavier than the original, so i would question its performance and handling. Although thats not what everyone buys a kitcar for i guess.

Yeah.............. 'Cos that photo's real isn't it???


D Beddows - 27/7/12 at 10:02 AM

Don't get me wrong, I do actually really like the front - it just goes a bit wrong at the back


myke pocock - 27/7/12 at 10:07 AM

Mini Marcos !?!?!? Where did that come from? You must be kidding.

I like it even more now I have seen a side view. (BUT thats my opinion)

Admitidly on closer inspection it Looks like its been shopped, possibly for colour? But the proportions look ok.
This one doesnt appear to have been messed with:

My eyes, my eyes!! That is one fugly car, no matter which angle you look at it from...... I even tried squinting and tilting my head to the side but it still looks ugly........

Isint strange how we all see that car, as i think it looks really good, in red, but white and blue yuk

I would buy one!

The side on view of the red one, with those wheels, is right about what i would want to do with it

I suppose it would look better to you, if it had a Bike Engine in it

Ducks, and runs for cover!
