Description

A special and rare English sportscar that is certainly a head-turner

In 1992, the Marcos Mantara was introduced as a factory-made model – a further extension of the original GT styling but on steroids. Powered by Rover V8 3.9 EFI engine. The Mantara ended up campaigning in GT racing, with the ultimate version being the LM600

The Mantara incorporated a McPherson strut damper, coil spring and anti-roll bar based on a Ford system and makes for a more pleasurable driving experience, plus the Mantara was the first Marcos with power-assisted steering. Only 134 of these cars were made and they are rare sight nowadays

This 1994 model has had a small number of owners, the last reluctantly making way for another vehicle. The car has been well looked after see following service history which is all Marcos specialists. A new hood has been fitted relatively recently, and the radiator has been upgraded. The car has an Alpine stereo and as the original bill of sale shows was fitted with options of leather, power steering. 13 inch steering wheel, alarm immobiliser, headlamp covers, and icebox for future A/C fitment.

Currently, MOT’d, and supplied with previous MOTs which indicates that some welding has been done in the past. Good historic paperwork including orignal handbook, plus new bills etc

Has been independently inspected by Marcos specialist resulting in a good bill of health. All sound underside and recent new springs, tyres etc being regulary looked after by a Classic Motorsport company
