Notes
A rare find indeed. This Marcos Mantis model is uniquely finished in a distinctive caramel shade with a black interior, grille, bumper & headlight surrounds. Opening doors. Window glazing. Detailed ‘spoked’ whizzwheels. Screwed base.
We expect that this was a colour trial or sample piece – and never made in to production.
Very near mint condition in a crisp, clean, bright window box. Very minor wear only.
