The winter of 1990-91 I restored this Mini Marcos which I and Daniel & Magnus Magnusson collected in UK in 1990.
Remember that this was before internet so the car was bought virtually unseen, just making sure that it was registred as a Mini Marcos and not a Kit car. Not much more that the body, doors, door frames and rear screen was used from the car that I bought. The car was firs used as a combined road and race car. First season was in Roadsport B and later with the 1293cc engine in Roadsport C. As a road car I got as far as Germany and Holland for the International Mini Meeting.
This is how the car looked when i bought it.
Back home, restoration started with lots of cracks to fix.
Back from paint which was done in a friends car wash, reassembly started
Engine was firt a 1380cc with 100BHP @ the wheels
Ready for registration with 6x13" Revolution wheels
The wheels fouled the front wheel arches wich was fixed in this manner
The car was later changed into historic GTP spec complete with 1293cc engine and 6x10" wheels. The Green Mini Marcos in the background belonged to Thomas Hall and the green Cooper 'S' was Anna Viums car
Of course witha a race car there will be som e problems this is from Knutstorp after contact wit a tire wall. The car was even rolled once att Kinnekuklle.
