The goofy fact about the Marcos is it's made of plywood. Not just body framing like the Morgan, but the actual chassis itself. It was designed by Frank Costin (brother of Mike Costin, the COS in Cosworth), an aerodynamicist. Indeed, one of the first aerodynamicists to work in the automotive field.
I'd be very surprised if there aren't a handful of Marcoses that haven't made their way over here. |
