Evans did get the memos, we still sell them, but we won't fit them.
The biggest issues is the clearance between the tyres and the drive side chainstay, as the Marathon plus is a little bigger than the Marsthon/Brompton's own.
Or get Tannus, I have ridden a customer's Brompton with that solid tyres and it's the worst thing imaginable but for those who want low maintenance it's a good option.

@edscoble if what you said is right, Evans should get told off by Brompton for selling me a marathon plus...
They didn't have the non-plus in stock, I really needed to get this sorted and having had marathon plus for years without problem (it does indeed put a bit of pressure on the hinge when folded, but negligible compared to pressure when riding the bike, and it clears the rear frame comfortably...) I went for it...
That aside, why a large supplier like Evans wouldn't get the memo...
