Market round-up (Summer 2020)

Just a few remarkable Mini derivatives that have made it to the market lately. Perhaps there's one for you among them..? Keep those tips coming.

That Autocom Buggy again! Snapped up by a Frenchman who had big plans for restoring it (here), but offering it once more. It doesn't seem much happened to it (click here)

What's better than a TiCi? Two TiCis of course! Great project cars for sale in Billingham, UK

Good looking Magenta with 1275 engine is seen for sale in Sawbridgeworth here

This tricycle was advertised as Owen Greenwood's famous trike but it's certainly not that!

I quite like this neat GTM Coupe that is offered for sale in Brittany, France (here)

And another one in France, just a bit more work to be done on this one! (here)

Let's continue the GTM theme. This looks like a great Rossa Mk1 in white with blue to me

Or do you prefer yours with red instead? This one is seen for sale in Lincolnshire here

Strong money for a Scamp Mk1 but at least it looked to be a proper car (here)

And another Scamp Mk1 that seems cheap compared to it. Still for sale here

UPDATE 10:15: Buyers beware. I have been tipped off about the ad which is very likely a scam

This AEM Scout is badged as a 'Mole', which I found rather funny!

Grantura Yak looked okay and wasn't expensive I recall. Can't find the ad now. Anyone?

Mini Marcos racers are everywhere

A string of Mini Marcoses in racing guise has turned up for sale recently. Let's have a look at the ones that are on the market at the moment.

The famous 1976 TransXL Mini Marcos, a Mk4, has come up for sale once again...

Picture Silverstone Auctions

It proved unbeatable in the hands of Steve Roberts and will be auctioned soon with no reserve

See it for sale here

A Mk3 in lovely colour scheme and fully prepared is seen for sale in Italy. It is said to be a 1965 car, which it surely isn't. See the ad here.

Another Mini Marcos for sale in Italy. Now advertised as a 1966 Mk2, but again I don't think so. This looks like another Mk3 to me... See it for sale here

1970 (Mk3) Mini Marcos GT Racer with 1340cc and 105bhp of power plus ultra wide body

See it offered for sale here

This is a Mk4 seen for sale in France with an extra 1380cc engine and lots of spares

See the ad here

Bonus picture: this car was seen at the Retromobile show in Paris last weekend

I don't think it is for sale though

Despite a sign saying it was a 1966 car, this is a Mk4 of the 1970s. Please get those years right!

UPDATE 15 February: Reader Eiji Watanabe came across a Mini Marcos racing car that has just made it to the market in Japan. It's another Mk4, an early one, but not as we know it!

Ultra wide Mk4 Mini Marcos with massive spoilers is for sale in Japan now
