Hi everybody,

My name is Anthony and I live in Caen, Normandy.

I have two Mini Marcos, two MK4 type.

The first one has a fast road spec:

1275cc standard bore
STR-930 camshaft
11:1 ratio
3,44 final drive
Hiff 44
Spax dampers

Few pics of the car at Le Mans Classic 2010 in Juily



The other one has a race spec but has standart 1275 cc engine in a first time.

full FIA rollcage
FIA bucket seats
Fully adjustable camber kit
Etc...

I don't have any pics of the car.

Goodbye
Anthony

That's different, I like the lights and the scoop on the scuttle, is it the heater intake? I am also intrigued by the separate panel in front of the bonnet.

Thats pretty nice. Not a fan for brown cars but it does kind of work!

Welcome!

How did you change the angle of the steering wheel so dramatically?! Universal joint behind the dash? Is that standard on all Marcos'?

You can see the column between the pedals so I guess there must be a UJ - looks a tight bend for a conventional "maltese cross" style joint. I've done similar because the column gets in the way of your feet if it's tilted back loads. No good for playing rally drivers 'n left foot braking.


My UJ is between the pedals. (Rover SD1 column)

Thanks for your welcoming

I will send you few pics of the column

The old owner had done that to have a better driving position

My english is too poor to explain you what he have done sorry
