1992 Marcos GT Mantula 4000V8

Summary:

If you can afford it, and want something different, their good

Faults:

Look out for rust on the frame of the car. Bump steer problems and brakes are very bad on most of these cars, although can be modified.

General Comments:

Classic UK sports car, but can be trouble. Need to be good mechanic or have lots of money to have one of these cars.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

1969 Marcos GT Ford 1.7 Mexico

Summary:

Superb driving sensation

Faults:

The clutch wore out.

Then the clutch wore out.

Then the clutch wore out again!

Should a car with only 140HP burn so many clutch plates out?

General Comments:

Car looks superb in Ferrari red with black interior.

What can I say? Skimming around corners when you are only 4 inches off the deck is sensational! A well-sorted Marcos can be steered by the throttle and over steers with ease!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

So it's a bit heavy on clutches? ;)
