We were pleased to be contacted by the car’s original owner, Tom Groves, who writes:
“I served my time as an apprentice Motor Mechanic in Dublin at Marcos Cars Ireland.
I worked there from about 1967 to 1970. We built 20 to 30 Mini Marcoses, and this is my actual car, OZO 94.
I was allowed to make use of the mould, so I laid up the body and built the car at nights and Sundays.
“My boss David Dunne allowed me to work off the resin and glass by working every Saturday. I have fond memories of this car, I have to tell you I was pretty cool as a young kid in Dublin in the late sixties driving a Marcos.” We saw the photos on the web when the car was offered for sale by its owner for the previous 24 years. It had been restored in 2004. Visit Gosia's web site Mini Marcos Poland |
