==Mini Marcos== {{main|Mini Marcos}} [[File:1965 Mini Marcos, in ZA.jpg|thumb|Mini Marcos]] The [[front-wheel drive]] [[Mini Marcos]], designed by Malcolm Newell, was introduced in 1965. With a fibreglass monocoque body, Mini subframes and suspension, and a wheelbase of {{convert|80|in|mm}}, it is powered by a transversely mounted [[Mini]] [[BMC A-Series engine|A-series]] engine driving the front wheels. A French-entered example came 15th overall in the [[1966 24 Hours of Le Mans|1966 Le Mans race]], the only British car to finish. When Marcos stopped making the car in about 1975, another company produced updated versions as the "[[Midas Cars|Midas]]". Cars were also made under licence in South Africa, Australia and Ireland. Revived in 1991 for the Japanese market, production continued until 1995. A total of over 1300 Mini Marcos cars have been sold in kit form and as complete cars. After the demise of Marcos Sales Limited, the Mini Marcos moulds were acquired by Marcos Heritage Spares, who relaunched the car in 2005 as the Marcos Heritage Mk. VI and Mk. VI GT.
