| Comments: I am appealing again for any information to the whereabouts of Mini Marcos KFC 407 F which I
built in 1967. A mk111 with notched wheel arches. Chassis no. 7204. Last week out of the blue the second owner contacted
me, he sold the car in 1974/75 in grey primer (it was Aston Martin dubonet red)to somebody in the Stroud area. According
to DVLA records it was last known in 1985 and Yellow.

| Comments: Hello. I have a Marcos Mini but I'm looking for a new electrical tree for my Marcos.
Can someone help me?
You can use a Mini wiring loom but you need to extend some wires for the rear lights and dashboard unstruments. You also need to add earth wires for some components mounted on fibreglass. -RP | |

| Comments: Hi, I currently own a fab little green soft-top mini but I'm looking for a project Marcos,
one that has just the good condition body. Not worried about the mechanicals. I was thinking of upgrading lots of things
on a Marcos I would own anyway, to make it a comfy everyday-ish car.
Anyway, my question is, where is the best place to source one? I would buy a new shell but I dont have 5k to spend on one! The usual answer: a) join the club, b) join the forum, c) keep an eye on ebay. You can certainly use a Mini Marcos as an everyday car. | |

| Comments: I built a hatch way way back in 1971 reg no CRE 101K, aubergine and sadly had to part with it.
All I have left is a few brilliant memories, old photos plus a Corgi model - ha ha! I hope it went to a good home and
would love to hear any history. It was quite quick and looked really cool with its special surfboard roofrack !!
We haven't got any record of your car but if anyone knows where it is now please let us know. | |

| Comments: I owned an Irish Mini Marcos in the late 80s until 1991. Chassis number MI3 reg Q816 AFG.
When bought from Bournemouth(?) it was only just been made road legal, it had a roll cage(bar)and a 1098cc engine.
I fitted an interior and used until '91 when I sold it to a dealer who I believe sold it to Japan. It had the same
squared off wheelarch extensions as another Irish car. Gelcoat was light blue, but it was resprayed red.
Thanks Columbus. If anyone knows the current whereabouts of MI3 please let us know. | |

| Comments: I have very much enjoyed browsing through this site, and wondered if any one could help out
with information on Domino Pimlicos? I have just bought one, and would like to know a bit more about their history, and
number produced (by Fibertech). Mine was (apparently) the third one made, and the first one sold, but outside that, I
don't know much more. I have tried (repeatedly) to get in touch with the Domino owners club, both by e-mail and by 'phone,
but to no avail. Your site is the only site that has pictures of Pimlicos. Any advice or information greatly appreciated,
Thanks Carol
I have replied by mail. Sadly we think the Domino Club is now defunct, though the MMOC can help with most of the problems you are likely to encounter. -RP | |

| Comments: Does any one know how many beach cars were made?
We have one in our shop 1960 1 owner with wicker seats we are trying to convince the owner to do a full resto.
E-mail me with any info. Thanks.
According to Filby fewer than 20 were made at Longbridge, mostly for hotels, so it's likely that most of them were scrapped. The opportunity to restore one shouldn't be missed. -RP | |
