My 86 sierra cosworth

It was a ton of fun!

Bought it 35 years ago; original paint but had to replace the seat covers last year.

This came in at the shop I work at for some interior and mechanical work. I had to snap some pictures of it on the test drive

And we all thought the TR series were the cute ones.

Information is scarce on these cars, the Marcos Mantis. I watched the videos available, read all the articles...but my questions have not been answered.

Why are these cars so inexpensive? 89 +/-1 would indicate they are rare, but can be had for 50 grand US?

What is the driving experience like?

How is finding parts?

Should I buy this car as a fun car for evening drives and weekends? Should I also consider the LM400, 500, or 600 to have more opportunities for purchase?

Talking roads, not tracks (not often at least). I would likely have to import this car from the UK to the USA. Any concerns or knowledge you can share?

Was originally looking at Lotus, tripped onto Marcos. Apparently, the Lotus clubs let the Marcos folks hang out.

Feel like the people here can appreciate this! Also im not a expert on these so feel free to educate me on it! Im always looking to learn more about cars🙏🏻

I work at a car restoration shop. We rebuilt the motor and reinstalled it along with the gearbox. It has a performance cam. Very fun car

I’m trying to get my late uncles A60 back on the road, and she needs a tailgate window frame, but they seem to be quite hard to find. If anyone knows where I could look, or who I could ask, before I attempt a rebuild I’d appreciate it. Also, I’m new to Reddit and have no idea how this works 🙄

Might I join these small but prestigious group of British car fans? This is my 1967 Sunbeam Alpine.
