    Check out the glorious new Marcos

    British sportscars back on the up, following the disgrace around the TVR factory shutdown...

    Marcos TSO GTC.

    Chasis built by Prodrive in Banbury, Oxfordshire; fitted out by Marcos Sportscars next door with top spec components, including Chevy 6.0 V8 (420bhp - 462bhp), OZ Racing wheels, AP Racing brakes etc.
    Reasonably priced: Pounds55,000/$100,000.

    http://www.marcos-eng.com/

    Very well reviewed by EVO magazine:
    http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/204606/marcos_tso_gtc.html

    Has echos of the Shelby Daytona coupe, I reckon.

    Met the Directors of Marcos Engineering a couple of years ago at the Canary Wharf Motorshow, very impressed by their attitude and the prototype product then on show.

    They may be getting my business after my Porsche RMS issues...

    I saw a shadow of Weissmann Coupe. And the back side-back view is like Z4 Coupe.

    Anyway totally i like the car except the long front nose.

    I've seen this in a TopGear show, great American engine with an absolutely gorgeous British design.

    I am sorry but it looks like a hot dog on wheel. I cannot help but think Viagara when I see this car. Not for me.

    Nice design, reminds me of the Alfa Romeo TZ from the 1960's.
