Andrew Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Bloke at work has bought something fruity but won't tell us what it is. Got this out of him so far: Built in 1995 (N plate), Black, Convertable, Sports type car not particularly mainstream. It won't cost more than £35,000 today. His previous cars have been Morgans and Marlins so he is not into his modern cars at all which rules out Ferarris and the like. I thought it might be a Viper but am assured it is not. Any ideas?

Snail Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 What about a decent cobra or something? maybe a V8 westfield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 old Maser Spyder? seems to like cars begininng with M or Marcos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Chimaera maybe? Doesn't begin with 'M', but following up along the Morgan line, it would make sense I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burti Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 What about a Marcos, they kind of odd looking, british convertible type thing ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabus Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Tough one! I was thinking TVR Griffith but they surely dont cost 35K...Hmm, gis a clue! How about an Aston Martin, the Virage Volante? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Corvette ???? but wouldn't be £35K for a 1995...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 As soon as I find out I'll let you all know! He said he was bringing it in this week but with all the rain I don't think he wants to. The Marcos is a very good shout might ask him about that!

Colvette Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 [ QUOTE ] I want to like them but the just look like they are trying too hard [/ QUOTE ] I think that's pukka. I came this || close to buying one, but then I found out that they're no use as an everyday car, so had to bin that idea. They are awesome, though - especially the ones with the mustang cobra-R engine in 'em. 4.8 Litre Quad-Cam V8 with a supercharger! Fear the speed!

s4dreamer Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I'm no expert on Marcos, but I doubt you'd have to pay £35k for a 1995 model. Maybe an AC Cobra replica ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Finally found out and it was not quite as exciting as I hoped - although still a nice car. Continuing with the "M" theme then he has bought a Morgan Plus 8 - in black. I thought he would have been more adventurous and gone for a Marlin or Marcos!

Sven Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Still, not a bad car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
