As far as I know they're owned by Eurotech in the Netherlands. Were they affected by the bankruptcy of Marcos UK?

Also, who owns the original red-and-white Marcos logo? When the company went bankrupt I think in 2000 before Stelliga took over, the original logo was sold to Eurotech. When Stelliga got on the board in the mid-2000s or whenever it was, they drafted a new blue logo with the red "69" on it (you can see these in pictures of Marcasite prototypes).

So when Stelliga resurrected the company, did he buy the logo back, seeing that the TSO and later cars had the original logo? Did he not? Now that the company has folded, did the logo's ownership go back to Eurotech or is it just sort of...floating out there somewhere? As a Marcos fan I'm wondering just what exactly happened there, the logo switch thing they had at the beginning of their "new life" was very mysterious/confusing...

So McMath has the name but Stelliga has the logo? Or does Stelliga not? How did Stelliga build the TSO and such then? Did he get McMath's permission, or is that why the "new" Marcos is known in the press as "Marcos Engineering," to sidestep McMath's ownership of the name...?

So Jem Marsh has the "manufacturing" name, Roary has...what? Just the name Marcos? or what? So then in either case, what does Stelliga have? A new name just called "Marcos Engineering" ?

Does Eurotech's racing division have a website or something? I'd be interested in contacting someone there about this, if any Marcos namesakes/logos are available for purchase I'd be greatly interested...
