MIDAS COUPE

2-door 2-seater sports coupé.

It might look like the Mini-Marcos, but it's quite different in every detail. Chunky little car used glass-fibre monocoque, Mini suspension and transverse front-drive installation. Power outputs vary from year to year, but reckon on 105mph if MG Metro engine or similar-powered Cooper S unit is installed. Hard ride, inch-accurate steering and a cheeky 'character' - much better developed than Mini-Marcos ever was.
