At least its not as bad as the fiat panda she likes in avacado green

I've tried telling her that there is no way i'd go in it, and she replied "Thats not a problem, the two front seats are for me and my hangbag "

Yeah its a Marcos Mantis, small block (Ford ) V8.

0-60 in 4.2, and 170mph!!

Last british sports car I had with a Ford engine was an absolute piece of shit.

It's really good money though, so i'll probably end up with it, taking it out this afternoon i'll get some more pics. Looking at the weather it will probably be in a tree

Truly ugly!

Is it cheap because Marcos has gone under?

Surely you'd waste your money on something better than that!
