This is the first time we have a Marcos for sale. Maybe not so strange as only 294 Marcos GT was built and only 52 with steel frame and the 3 liter V6.
Driving a Marcos is a unique experience. The seat is fixed and you adjust the pedals with a wheel to suit you. The driving position does not stand back for the experience you get in the best of supercars. Your hand falls straight on the gear lever. The dashboard is sexy and your steering wheel from Moto Lita gives excellent control. Start up the Ford three liter V6 engine, and the car is filled with exotic noices. With low cerb weight the car goes very well. You notice that you only have 910 kg to move. With a roof height of only 43 inches, you'll see right in the door handles of other cars. The driving experience is nothing short of raw. The steering wheel is on the right side, but since the car is so small it is easy to place on Norwegian roads. The control is extremely direct and you know the legacy of engineers from the aviation industry. It's no wonder, because the designers behind Marcos really were geniuses.
Jem Marsh, "Mar" in Marcos, was a very promising race driver and designer who specialized in design and racing parts for Austin 7 who dominated British racing in the sixties. As well as Frank Constin, "cos" in Marcos, a master was in making solid designs that were both aerodynamic and lightweight. Jem worked in the airline industry and as engineer of legends in the automotive industry, such as Maserati's famous Tipo 61 "Bird Cage", countless Le Mans racers, Lister Jaguars and countless Lotus cars / designs. With this gold team, clearly the car got well.
In many ways, Marcos GT is the car that was forgotten. In the sixties and seventies celebrities drove Marcos cars like Ron Stewart and Roger Moore. In addition, it was used by world champions like Sir Jackie Stewart and Derek Bell. They were very competitive and were called by the competitors "Mighty Marcos". Today they are sought after cars in historical racing. Let's put this in perspective, Marcos V6 is more rare than the Ford GT40 or Lancia Stratos. Here you can get unique car history for small money. The parts access is good and most of these spareparts are taken from other British brands.
This is an opportunity that will hardly come again. A lovely car that everyone will ask what is when filling petrol at the gas station.
