Very rare Marcos Mantula V8 Spider, only around 200 examples of this car were produced. It can be recognized by the letter S at the end of the chassis number which means "Spider". It was bought in a restoration center where the previous owner could not complete it due to its age. Furthermore, this Marcos has the IRS (Independent Wheel) conversion fitted directly from the factory, as evidenced by the birth certificate present with the car.

The resin body is still in its original factory resin color and is in very solid condition, however it has many marks and needs to be repainted.

Mechanically it mounts the factory injection 3.5i v8 engine with 5-speed manual gearbox, the maximum possible combination.
All mechanics have been removed from the car, restored and serviced, new tank, new fuel lines and rewired engine electrical system.
The car starts with the key from the dashboard and a video is present with the car. The steering box is new, like the radiator and all pipes.

The interior is missing some components such as the seats and other details;

The tubular frame is in good condition, never had an accident and complete with wishbones.

Documentation present:
Original Marcos birth certificate;
Customs Bill (from UK.

All spare parts are available new from the original cars or from the Marcos factory which, with its historical division "Marcos Heritage" has reproduced or retrieved all the missing details, including those of this car. Many new parts have already been installed on the car.

This project is a very rare car produced in a small number of examples and is an excellent investment ready to assemble with solid and already restored mechanics.
