The Euregio meeting for Marcoses and Mini derivatives took place on the sunniest day of this year, last weekend. The location? The far south-west of The Netherlands, where the country rubs shoulders with the sea and with Belgium. And so a group of Maximum Minis crossed the border several times...
Joost van Dien organized the trip for this year. He currently owns three Mini Marcoses and this is the Mk3 he built up from scratch as a fast road car. I co-drove him during the ride and was much impressed

Keith Rose had come over from Somerset in his GTM Rossa. His latest buy is a Minus Maxi!

You may not see it at first sight, but this is one very rare and probably unique fiberglass bodied Mini derivative. I'll write a separate article on it here soon

What would a Mini Marcos meeting be without Richard Porter? He came over in his faithful Mini Jem

And flying the flag for Maximum Mini, too, just in colour with the car. Thank you Richard!

Aad van Beekum had his Mk3 Mini Marcos finished just in time for the event two years ago. And he was there this time. The car still looking immaculate

We were so close to the Belgium border that Bart van Reusel and his Schmitt had to be there…

Beach bunnies? Bart's Schmitt pairs up with co-organizer Rolf Roozeboom's Domino Pimlico

Another regular on the Euregio meetings: Ed 'the Hat' Darwinkel with his trusty Midas. He'd just fitted leds, which gave an impressive light show even during the day

Not a Mini, but Robin Hughes and his son Sam in the big Marcos are very enthusiastic about Mini Marcoses, too. Thanks for coming over chaps!

We missed several regulars with their Mini Marcoses this year, but not Raymond van der Klugt. He owns a Mini Marcos, too, but prefers to come in his lovely GTM Coupe

Take a couple of Brits to a field and they'll start a picnic!
