The Appeal

The Mini Marcos was a lightweight, streamlined fibreglass-bodied sports car built around BMC Mini mechanicals, famously becoming the only British car to finish the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The Mk4, manufactured by D&H Fiberglass Technique, represents the refined evolution of Jem Marsh and Frank Costin's original design, and surviving examples are increasingly sought after.

This French-registered example underwent a thorough mechanical overhaul in July 2025 at a cost of over €1,700, covering the fuel system, ignition, cooling system, suspension, and brakes. The car holds a valid Contrôle Technique and is registered with the Mini Marcos Owners Club.
