TSO for sale?

[Chris500]

I have checked the market for an Marcos TSO. Without success so far. Does s.o. knows of a well kept car avail? Chris

There aren't many of them so you'll have to look hard to find one.

Keep an eye on this site http://www.redlinesportscars.com/marcoscars.php. the red one went earlier this year and you have just missed out on the Orange prototype.

Thx for the hint. had contact Jeremy already. It seems that at least 3 of the press cars were auctioned in 2008. Does s.o. know of the whereabouts of the two grey TSO?

I own a grey/silver TSO. A friend of mine has the one that was on top gear. It is a similar colour which some may describe as grey. I can't really speak for both of us but neither of them are for sale. I know that doesn't help you much except that it may help narrow your search.

Simon, congrats - what a smart car and that plate on top.

Are any of these TSO's likely to be available to buy in the not too distant future? I completed my Gap year here during university and would love to own a part of my past.

Hi Steve,

Saw that you worked at the tso factory, I am sure other Marcos owners would be interested to hear your stories/experiences whilst you were there, any photographs of work in progress,

Good luck in your search,


Martyn.
P.S. you could try one of the older models ?

[B1GRLM]

Silly question but how much are you willing to pay for a TSO???

An Estate Agent in Cheshire was "not suited to this type of vehicle"

The below comment is at the bottom of the advert, i wonder how much the rights of ownership and tech info would go for, lottery money ?

"Parties interested in TSO Drawings, Design Rights, Brand Ownership and IP Rights might also also like to contact me at [e-mail]."

Some real licence being applied there are the reasons for Marcos' failure.
Why let facts get in the way of a used car advert....

[Chris500]

what a rare sight: grey TSO spotted in downtown Hamburg traffic with German plates... s.o. knows about the owner? Chris

[vmhb]

Probably the car advertised on pistonheads a short while ago. There is a link to the advert a couple of entries ago although it no longer works. I spoke to Giles Cooper about the car and he told me that a guy came from Germany and took the TSO and a Sagaris. The car appeared identicle to the one I have and posted a picture of.
Sorry don't have a name.

I know the car is sold but I just found this old advertisement

Yes, it went to Hamburg/Germany, sold by Giles Cooper in May.
I know the owner. Rare car indeed, was build for Tony Stelliga himself, mapped to 500bhp.
