Marcos Mantuala 1973???
Discussion
I don't know much about Marcos cars but have always quite liked the look of them
My eye has been drawn to this mantula but the ad claims it is a 1973 car and having just looked at the Marcos Wikipedia page it says the mantula Spyder wasn't in production until 1986.
The DVLA website also States the registration is for a 1973 blue Marcos.
The car has a rover v8 engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox
Is this a bit odd and should I just give it a wide berth?

1973 build means it can't be a Mantula
I suspect it started life as either a 3.0 V6 or 2.0 V4 coupe - https://www.marcosheritage.com/historyofmarcos
Cheers that's what I was thinking but does that mean it has had a new engine and gearbox plus a new body?I suspect it started life as either a 3.0 V6 or 2.0 V4 coupe - https://www.marcosheritage.com/historyofmarcos
Or could it just be a 1986 Mantula with a 1973 registration document?
