This Probe was owned by Jack Bruce back in 1970 and I had the use of it occasionally.

It was made by Marcos who built 4 units, one of which was used in the movie Clockwork Orange.

It had no doors - access was via a sliding roof.

It would turn heads today, imagine what it was like blasting around London in it nearly 50 years ago !

I've often wondered what car it was in Clockwork Orange. Didn't it mention the name in the film?

I have a picture of one on my parents driveway "back in the day". My dad had a V6 Marcos at the time and one of his friends had a Probe.

I'll try get a copy of the picture next time I'm over. biggrin

In the book they smoked around in a Durango 95. Can't remember if they used the name in the film.
