Great shot of this little car at Le Mans in 1966, it was the only British car to finish!....

Great little car but I always thought its a bit bizzare looking.

Probably the least good looking of the Marcos offerings - with the instant hardon inducing curvaciousness on the 1800 and the 3 litre bodies.

It was run by a FRENCH team. Mr Marcos (Jem Marsh??) went to LeMans and was horrifed to see how they had prepped the car and refused to hve anything to do with it until very late in the race. The car was shipped to France on the back of a Vanguard ute as a body shell and built there. One of the recent issues of Motor Sport had a very small article on it with a photo of the shell on the ute. I asked if I could post the photo here and never got a reply. The problem with posting it as far as I could see was copyright.
