The US Marcos Maniacs
have set up a Yahoo group (e-mail, photos, website sort of thing. Lots of good information (especially for those in North America).
Marcos enthusiasts' forum
This 'chat' forum has been set up by Mantis Owner 'The Quiffster'. So far it's catering mainly for owners of Mantulas, Mantaras, Mantis and Mantarays (ie the later cars), but hopefully will include forums for all the models.
Hopefully this will become another good place to find info, for owners, prospective owners and simple enthusiasts (Or even clever ones!).
Dave Lewis has established a chatroom for Marcos interested parties.
