That is a big improvement over the older one but mini's are too classical to make specials of in my opinion and getting to be rarae to be commercialy succesful.

Sorry but I'd take the Marcos any day. It's ugly, but ugly in a good way (IMO).

If its just for yourself then I don't see why not
but as above, for it to me commecial I think you'd need a more modern donor


I recon the GT version of the new mini marcos looks quite good....




ps - here a drawing of the old marcos which might help:

It certainly does. Is it actually available to buy?

yes as far as I know....

these guys do them (and the spairs for the other old marcos's) http://www.minimarcos.com/

but you should probably ask these guys: http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/

The main advantage is that parts are still being produced for the mini (and probably will be in the future)

Thanks for the drawing, looks like that a 2+2 seating is feasible. Rescued attachment Mini Sprint GT 4.jpg

Quite like the Broadspeed GT - sort of fastback Mini
