Marcos Chatroom/Forums

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!).

There's now a Marcos Mailing list, launched by Richard Porter of the Mini Marcos Owners Club, but catering for all enthusiasts and owners of Marcos cars.

Ray Green in New Zealand now has a fledgling Marcos-only site to accompany his site related to the historic sportscar series that he runs his Volvo 3 litre engined car in.
