I have never seen a Marcos in person but saw one this past weekend at the Euro Auto Festival! I loved my Corgi Toys 1800GT as a kid and still have it!

This is new to me. This is the first I heard of Marcos cars. Learn something new every day.

Same as Ed, I've never seen nor heard of them. It's different for sure.

I was aware of the Marcos having only seen pics of it.  I can't decide if I like it or not....it's very different.

@karl

I lived in north Toronto, Canada from 1963 to 1970, near my home was an assembly factory for the Marcos cars. They were shipped from Wales to Canada then assembled, for sales in North America. I think it was the GT and that they were using Ford British engines here. I don’t think that they sold many. Not sure how long they kept this up. I visited and sat in a few. Only employed a dozen or so workers. I still have the Corgi.
