Powered by Rover V8 3. 9 EFI engine. The Mantara ended up campaigning in GT racing, with the ultimate version being the LM600, The Mantara incorporated a McPherson strut damper, coil spring and anti-roll bar based on a Ford system and makes for a more pleasurable driving experience, plus the Mantara was the first Marcos with power-assisted steering.
