What a lovely day at Castle Combe to celebrate the Mini Marcos' debut of 50 years ago (updated story here)! A photographic report with excellent pictures by Stuart Watson. Thank you very much Sir!

Richard Porter's Mini Jem Mk2 heads a long line of Mini Marcoses (and another Jem)

But there's even more of them. An excellent turnout of Mini Marcos Owners

Individual: Mk4 with big rear spoiler, vinyl roof and signature Cortina rear light

I like this Mk3 in full racing guise. Note the hump on the roof to gain some space

Mini Marcoses are all about individuality - Note flares and wheel arches of all kinds

Another Mk3 Marcos, the registration suggests it came over from France. Tres bien

Lovely car in lovely colour and condition, or so it seems. It's another Mk3

The white car is Peter Skitt's Mk1 Marcos. A very early car - seen at Blyton Park too

Opening rear hatches give a big clue about the age of these three cars

And that's the dynamic duo from London that has also been seen here before

And a bit of a surprise! This is Gerry Bath's 'Minim' - a hill climb special of 1965

Gerry Bath passed away last year and that's when the car came out of its hiding
