Thats all i can find

Whats it meant to be? A TVR?

 

Been offered this, not so sure on the colour though

 

A Marcos ?

Looks nice, Dont mind the Colour myself

 

nice

 

Yeah, just think its a bit of a girls colour! Think the other half is very keen on it though! Apprently it looks cute

I'm quite keen but i've only just got rid of one piece of british engineering shit lol

 

I see your predicament

 

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 "

 

Marcos/mantis ?

Thats all I can find.

 

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

 

Impressive stats if it proves to be reliable

As for the Fiat Panda

 

Yeah I dont know anyone thats had one apart from the one being offered obviously, so no idea, they get quite good reports on the net including build quality.

 

Very true. Theres not that much info on them but this gives a couple of lines of advice....

Cheers mate, maybe the missus wont be able to drive it due to visibility and gear change.

The panda wouldnt all be bad though, think of the economy lol

 

Truly ugly!

Is it cheap because Marcos has gone under?

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

 

Probably mate, like I said i'll have a drive and see what we think.
