Mini Marcos owner and fellow-Dutchman Mathijs van Mullem lives in Ireland these days and he took his Marcos with him. He does send over a message every now and then. Last week a brief one came in: "Found a Kingfisher here in Ireland and bought it to play a little with". Wow! Doesn't that look like a nice example of the rare Kingfisher Sprint? Congrats mate, I'd love to hear more about it in due course!
'VFO 218' is a Kingfisher Sprint. About 35 of them were made in the early 1980s

The Kingfisher had a big rear hatch with a Datsun 120Y screen in it

Mathijs found this in Ireland, where he lives, and bought it to play with

He restored a Mk3 Mini Marcos, and drives that now in Ireland, too
