[PetrolTed]

Just got back. More pictures coming.

Marcos won't be at the Motor Show btw. They say they'd better spend the time building cars instead

[BossCerbera]

Good, some of us are waiting!

If it's really bigger inside then it should be good. It would be nice to see a Canadian car doing well

Thought Marcos was now Australia based?

It's British-based (near Warwick). Confused by distribution arrangements in North America and Australia maybe?

No, what confused me was the launch of the TSO, which was in Aus.... sorted my head out now, thanks ;-)

Damn the Targa looks good - I was waiting on the convertible, but that is damn tasty and you get the proper wind in your hair experience.

[BossCerbera]

Go to the Press Release page and just look at the panel fit on the 'spitfire vents'.

THAT is quality!

[gazzab]

woweeee
wake up TVR !!!!
You are at the bottom of your 'S curve' , time now to get yourself in gear and come out fighting!

[GTRene]

yes well done marcos...also on the web pictures you can see even the T-roof fits ok as some thought it would not as seen the picture's in the marcos thread but those are just there for the picture loose...
Does someone know how the doors gona open? I see a little gap on top in the carros behind the door is there some sort of button there? like a tvr has under the mirror? so elektric?

What is even more quality is that it's a plastic car that doesn't look plastic

Good color too.

Need to sign in to get the pdfs . . . hope those Marcos guys are early birds.

Rene: save some money for this car

I'm saving already albert hope they arive in LHD very soon...but as they making so few per year...gues by the time there is a LHD in NL I have the money sorted and its cheaper then the Wiesmann GT so by the time I've droven such Marcos, I sell it and buy a second hand Wiesmann..I saw some nice GT's V8 on this website;
www.autoscout24.nl/dut/list.asp?nlextensions=1&make=16351&model=0&yearfrom=0&yearto=0&eurofrom=100000&euroto=0&mileagefrom=0&mileageto=0&fuel=0&body=0&bodycol=0&hpfrom=0&hpto=0&gear=0&accident=0&age=0&sort=price&country=&radius=0&zip=&carsperpage=20&ac
So I have to sell my house for that

Ted - what are you doing showing us concept sketches??


Production vehicles have been on our roads for some time now....

[PetrolTed]

Look again - there are pictures from the launch in a seperate piece.

[dinkel]

The Marcos sketch is from the PR package. You have to sign in to get access.

Everbody knows Ted can't draw

Don't understand the TVR pic there . . .

It's a suggestion that McTaggert's borrowed the design from one he did ealier, as if you didn't know

[PetrolTed]

It is curious how from that angle they do look incredibly similar. I do see what people are on about now.

However, from any other angle the cars are completely different in size, shape etc. Bit of a curiosity that - but nothing more.

[GTRene]

I agree, completely different...nowadays its incredebely difficult to come out with a good new line that is also a good cw line and that has not bin drawn somewhere else!...Marcos,you did a great job, making this new looking car and still reconniceable as a marcos, and for me the best looking Marcos till this date but hey, thats what they call progres...
