I used to watch the LM600s in GTs back in the day. Certainly GT1 in those days meant homologation of 25 road models. How did Marcos circumnavigate that? Can't wait to see the car out and about. They often get a collection of supercars on display at the Silverstone FIA GT round - might be worth considering. They had a 288GTO Evoluzione last year...

It's off the road cos I ran out of cash.
I built a new blueprinted engine for it. Then put 8 jenveys and a supercharger on it.
Blew up the new ECU and then got made redundant. So can't afford to finish it yet. It will run again smile

They got round the homologation rules by effectively calling it a Mantara LM600.
As though it was a Mantara Evo smile

When they were at Le Mans with the 600s the first time, they turned up with the race cars but the LM Authorities wanted to see a another road car (they'd only ever seen the blue one) and they didn't have one. So they naild one together in a couple of days (with a bog standard Chev 350 in it) took it down to LM on a trailer. Drove it from a mile away....got the nod....drove it a mile out then it died.
It recently got bought and it being sorted properly. So there should be 3 LM600s on the road eventually.
