Marcos, Bradford upon Avon, England. Jem Marsh and Frank Costin founded Marcos and they produced some beautiful GT cars like the one pictured with a variety of engines from Ford, Triumph and Volvo. A peculiarity of the Marcos GT was its plywood chassis, although in later models it was changed to the more conventional steel. Another unusual feature was the movable padals that made it a good sports car for tall drivers. The body was fibre glass. The GT started it life in 1963 and continued until the company went bust in 1971. Marcos GTs were raced by many including Jem Marsh himself who even tried but failed to qualify one at Le Mans.
