Hi, I have a Mantula that spent most of it's life in a showroom in Japan. I bought it at Fazzaz in Christchurch, New Zealand and it only had 800 miles on the clock. I love it! I have doubled it's milage and enjoyed every mile of it. She is racing red with the 3.9 litre Rover. I need to spend more time in her but winter has hit us hard. Roll next summer for some pure grunt touring. Cheers, Mac O'Brien.

Hi from Spain,

I've loved Marcos cars since I was a kid. I found your blog and follow your restoration with great interest. I've restored a much more humble car (a 1971 beetle http://pedromartinezdiaz.googlepages.com ) and enjoy it every day. It's a very nice feeling to drive a car built with your hands!

Best regards,

Pedro

Hi Martyn,

Not exactly overseas more like down the road. Just have to say that your blog was one of those that inspired me to create a blog of my own.

First one to get their car back on the road buys the drinks!

Keep up the good work.

Hello from Shizuoka Japan.

I own Marcos Mantula in Japan. （No, 8333）I knew your blog before by some kind of opportunities.
I have a look at your blog happily.

It is very difficult to own Mantula in Japan.
However, I can maintain it on the coattails of a superior mechanic and the staff of the Marcos heritage.

And I gave the overhaul of the engine so far and changed it for Kent Cam and changed suspension and brakes for an upgrading kit.

And it changes all the electric wirings now.

These were very difficult work.

I need time still more so that my Mantula becomes ideal.

I did not intend to process a chassis.
It is because it takes both time and the cost very much.

Therefore I feel you enviable.
And I wish your Mantula is completed.

Please do its best.

Working in Japan means that there is little chance of seeing any Marcos on the road, except for the Mantula I drive past every day on the way to work. It is parked some 100 yards from the ocean and I often see the owner fiddling with his fuel pump (lucas right?). I believe his chassis is in need of serious repair so your details are extremely valuable.
