Last weekend saw an invasion of plastic cars, little and large, in the far-East of Holland, when the third Euregio Marcos Meeting made it to that part of the world. There were not as many (Mini) Marcoses as there were in the previous two years, but it was a good (and very sunny) day out never the less. Below you'll find a selection of pictures with some captions. Thanks Frank and Rolf for organizing this one!
The Mini Marcoses of Jouke Boersen (yellow Mk4) and Frank Morskate (Mk3 Le Mans replica). The big Marcos behind them is an intimidating LM600 racer of 2000

Frank had organized this year's run, but unfortunately his own car didn't make it to the drive itself due to a fan failure (and boy, was it hot!). He brought it over to the finish never the less

Another big Marcos worth a mention here is Remco Bruins' beautiful GT with Coventry Climax power

And another, slightly later, GT. Starting location was the garage of Hans Sieverink in Haaksbergen, which specializes in British classics. It's called S+S Tuning and you can find them here

Another Hans - Hans Efde - has been a Midas enthusiast for longer then I can think of. He's seen here with his current Midas - a gorgeous Gold Convertible

When he bought the car it was equipped with a turbo charger, but Hans got rid of that. The tuned MED engine makes it quick enough and is totally spic and span, too

Raymond van der Klugt plus turbo charged GTM Coupe plus girlfriend. He owns a Mini Marcos, too, but that is still under restoration

The GTM's profile may be good, but you won't see the Martini striping from its side. The brand new wheels, arches and tyres that Raymond just fitted are better visible, too

That's Jouke with Daphne again, a photograph I simply had to make (click here and here, too) but this time their latest family member Tess joins them, too. Congratulations, again!

The Euregio meeting would not have been complete without Ed 'The Hat' Darwinkel and his trusty Midas Gold, which is still in use on a daily base

Ed is seen here demonstrating the versatility of his Midas to an unsuspecting passer-by. What's more: the passer-by turned out to be a true enthusiast who's owned a Biota in the past. More to follow soon!

This is Peter Camping and his Midas Gold Convertible with hardtop. Peter is one of my most faithful readers and has provided this blog with many great finds in the past. Keep 'm coming mate!

Keith and Ruth Rose, who previously owned a string of Kingfisher Sprints, brought over their GTM Rossa from Somerset. Well done guys!
