Brief history of car:
The Mini Marcos was a pretty crude affair compared to todays cars but proved extremely popular because of it's simple construction and very cheap sub ?200 kit price. Well over 1,000 kits were sold in it's run up to the early 80's
Austin Mini sub frames were bolted to the Mini Marcos moncoque making it a simple build. Not the prettiest car in the world and diminuitive in size it still has a strong following today - to such an extent that it has been resurrected and is being reproduced again.
The Mini Marcos spanned the Mark 1 to Mark 4, the Mark 4 being introduced by new owners after Marcos went bust in 1971. The Mark 4 was slightly bigger and rear seats were introduced along with other refinements such as winding windows.
