Une Marcos Mantis 2+2 1970

In 1970, Marcos launched a new model. This again used the Mantis name, but was strictly a road car. For the first time it featured small rear seats, to cater to the family man (interestingly, there were sketches made of a 2+2 based on the GT coupe). Colin Chapman is reported to have said of the Mantis 'You have something there, Jem', but unfortunately the car was not as happy a shape as the GT and the company's financial collapse saw the production run be limited to a handful of cars (although, all those built were sold)

The car was equipped with a Triumph TR6 engine and a few have been converted to use the Rover V8. It briefly reappeared in the 80s as the Autotune Mirage - in kit form, but seems to have had a brief and inglorious history.

Trop fort Frag ! Bravo !!



Coque en fibre de verre .32 exemplaires produits .V8 3.5 L

C'est le logo qui m'a permis de trouver, un que je connaissais

Ca n'enleve rien à ton mérite
Perso je ne connaissais pas ce logo et cette marque

Quand tu vas sur leur site, la ligne des modèles - surtout l'arrière - n'a pas énormément changé...mais ça a l'air quand même bien fun à rouler

Bien vu Frag...
