Another Mini Marcos for sale - now in the USA

Last week saw a beautifully restored Mini Jem being offered for sale (click here). But perhaps it wasn't located on your side of the world? Or perhaps you prefer a Mini Marcos over a Mini Jem? Well, here's one for you then, as an equally stunning Mini Marcos is now offered through these pages. It's a 1974 Mk4 Mini Marcos that has benefited from a full and comprehensive rebuilt in the last couple of years. It is now all ready to go for a new owner and is located in... Oregon, USA.

The car comes with a massive file of information and plenty of bills, including one of 2014 from US Mini specialist Seven Enterprises quoting 7,410.09 dollars for the car's fully rebuilt 1275 high performance engine and gearbox. With this set-up it has been driven for under 4,000 miles since. Meanwhile, the body had been fully tackled also including reinforcements made to the stress points, full roll cage and a paint job in Porsche blue while much of the car's suspension and interior was renewed also. It is now for sale with Jeremy Thorpe of JET Motors, who has a good nose for anything unusual (how about this or this?). For the full ad click here.

It certainly looks very attractive in dark blue - a Porsche colour - with silver stripe

In it, you can also find a great number of pictures taken during the car's restoration

And there is no doubt this was a thorough job. Here cracks in the roof were repaired

The cage was welded to steel rear shock towers and bolted to the front subframe. The front seen here

...And the rear shock towers are seen here. It has to make this Mini Marcos very stiff
