Marcos Maniacs

Interesting history, but I think these people are a little nuts.
There are 1-off race cars out there from some of the most collectible
marques in the world, with documented racing history (not hear say that
someone WANTED to buy the car), that aren't fetching that kind of price.
And. why didn't they show a current picture of the interior? That looks
like a black and white photo from an article or something.
 
 
I'll agree with David on this one.
Much rather have a GT-40, Lambo, or Ferrari and a fully restore my
Marcos!
 
 
Just my 2cents,
Jeff C
