MARAUDER GT info requested

EGLITOM · 10-08-08, 03:43 PM

Hi all

i´m helping out a friend of mine who´s english is not so good , that he wanted to do the post by himself.

He is interessted in a T70 Project. He would like to find out any background information about the MARAUDER.

Does the company still exist?
He would like to find out more about Randy Berry ( his last status of information is that Randy had a hearttransplantation).
Does anyone have contact information?
Every picture of Marauder cars, especially T70´s would be highly appreciated. Pics of chassis and chassis plate´s are of special interesst.

Thanks for helping

TOM

Tom,
Randy Berry passed away a couple of years ago. ALL of his tooling and parts were sold off by the family. The Marauder line does not now exist. For the best T-70 see RCR!

Actually, I believe Fran may know where some of these things wound up. Senior moment!

Tom,
Fran had the molds for the Chevron B16 and they were not in very good shape. I know that Chris Arden has the Mclaren M6B molds. I have the last Maurauder Chevron body that was made from DBE16-34 and did a lot of repair to it and made new molds. As for the T70 molds I know there was a fire in his barn where a lot of this stuff was stored. I have some other parts that have fire damage on them. I last event I think that Randy was at was in spring 2004 and he passed away after that. I dont know of or have I seen any of his Lola replicas. I have seen his Mclaren kits on e-bay for sale in the past. I tried to get some info for other people from kit car magazine but they do not have any info on Maurauder cars.

You might wish to contact Rod Bender in Naples, Ohio as he has sold much of Randy's inventory.

PS: I have the only finished BRX and am completing on of the countach cars.
Randy was a super individual who had no idea he had the MI after the transplant.

I know MDA used to offer the T70. Maybe worth a call to Mark Sibley to see what he can offer. He's basd in the U.K.
Cheers,

Hi Tom

I have a two page review first printed in Kit Car in January 1983 titled Farm Country Flyer.

Features the Marauder Lola MKIII with some pictures.

I would be happy to scan this and send you a copy if you want me to.

Regards

John.

Hi John

a little late, but thanks for the info. BTW how are the Pirellis working on your RCR Lola ?

Has anyone out there a picture of a Marauder Chassis plate for Meinolf ?

It seems there is plenty of info on Marauder, I am amazed. It was located just down the road from me and I used to visit periodicly. Always an interesting ride. He also had some 60s era american performance cars behind the shop....anyone know where those went?? I recall a Comet that I think may have been an old A/FX car, but that was many years ago.
