This is not a Mini Marcos, but a Mini Jem. Very similar to look at, but lots of different details. I think it is a mk2, but the car (Mini) that it's based on is obviously older. (B-reg = 1962-1963?) |

I didn't check that one, but you're absolutely right Oswald, it's a 1969+ Jem Mini-Jem MkII and not a Marcos |

New Make (the Mk field is not appropriate for Mk.II) |

fixed But shouldn't it simply be listed as "Mini Jem" (make) without model name? Or even Mini as make and Jem as model? As I doubt that it was called "Jem Mini-Jem"... -- Last edit: 2007-05-31 13:43:59 |

No the make is actually Jem. The project of this car started in 1964 with the make Dart , with a Mini Countryman platform and a MiniCooper engine.This car had no further developpement until 1967, when Mr.Jeremy Delmar-Morgan bought the Dart project and decided to launch this car as "Mini-Jem", the make name beeing Jem. |

The _marque_ is Mini Jem, the model is Mark 2 and the make is most probably Fellpoint. The Jem was originally manufactured by Jem Delmar-Morgan's company, Jem (Developments) Limited. The project was later taken over by Rob Statham's Fellpoint Limited, and subsequently by High Performance Mouldings and then Malcolm Fell. The Mk.1 Jem was also made in Australia by John Taylor (Taylorspeed). DART was not actually a make but a one-off racing special built by Dizzy Addicott and Paul Emery. The initials on the bonnet stand for Dizzy Addicott Racing Team. I've assumed that the original project would have become the Mini-Dart had it not been canned by Jem Marsh.
