The Mini Mania forum from the US has a post titled "Are All Marcos' This Ugleee?" I paraphrased a bit, but the American sentiments are the same...yuck! Tom |

That's a bit unkind! It surely deserves to be rescued even if the perpetrator should be shot. |

This keeps popping up on eBay. You have to wonder why it's getting sold on so often. |

The mini marcos has been withdrawn from ebay again. It says due to error in listing, more like someone has made them a good offer or it hasn't reached a high enough price as they didn't set a reserve price. |

Unfortunatly the guy wont sell the complete car. he has stripped it and selling all the bits seperatly on ebay. I guess to try and make some more money but I doubt that car will make it back to the road. It didn't need much work to get it back on the road. what a shame |
