SCREW the 250 GTO, I want a Marcos!

[Markp.com]

Wow!

Anyone see topgear lastnight? What a stunner that Marcos is! WOW!

How much do they go for then?

Looks like an S2000 crossed with an DB7.... Mmmmmmmmmmm!

 

[Black Bug]

Think they're around 50k, and you have to be of compact build to fit. Disappointing speed specs though, only just under 5 to 60, and top whack of 170, yawn! Gimme a TVR sez I

Cheers,
Rob

From a price point and similar construction, TVR will be its main rival (although I wouldn't know what exact model).

I'm sure with enough glass fibre, you could make a Z body-kit of one of those

 

[Mr.G]

I don't like it.

As it reminds me of this, I dont know why, but it does!

 

[neil300zx]

Ill have the bugatti thanks

Yup, I love the look of the Marcos but TBH as they said, it's the same price as a Sagaris...and having something of a soft spot for TVR's I'd rather have the Sagaris! Mind you, I'd rather have the Veyron than anything else!

 

[Russ]

I'd have the Veyron of course, but that Marcos looks rubbish imho. Like something a child draws whilst bored.

 

[zedhead260]

Looks ok from the front, but goes a bit wrong from the rear of the door shut.


IMHO

 

[Rob Gaskin]

The Marcos and Bugatti were great fun but neither as good as the plane! I was quite impressed with James May to be honest and the views were awesome.

 

[mick daniels]

Pity any car they put on the same show as the Veyron, hasn't got much of a chance in fairness.

James May is class, he's a bit of an idol for me (don't all run). Batchelor (no women trouble), works on Top Gear (laugh and drives lots), into classic British bikes (brilliant if you like drum brakes I suppose) and has a great attitude (all in his own time).

Agreed! Clarkson and Hamster are great but it's May that makes it (every good act needs a straight man after all ). Case in point, the piece the other week where they each bought a classic Italian sports car for under £10,000...he had me in stitches! Reminded me of my old MGB..."I appear to have run out of electricity again"

 

[Russ]

I appear to have run out of electricity again

LMAO, he said it a couple times something like

I had to stop and fill it up with electricity again[

and I also liked

The oil pressure doesn't work, the charge indicator doesn't work, the speedo doesn't work, but the time is right[

Or something like that, going to download the episode tonight to watch it again

Hahaha I'd do it, probably on an mx5 base though

My big problem is getting the mold correct, as I presume its a mold you use, having not worked with glass fiber before...

 

[SeanDezart]

Mold Mark ? That's what grows on Marcos' We'll probably see it at Le Mans where it won't qualify !

 

[SeanDezart]

btw George, nice one !!!
