Marcos Maniacs

Hi Richard,

Its great to have coverage in Motorsport, but I had mixed feelings
about this article (great car of course). I liked the quote about
"teetering on the edge of vulgarity!", and the early history was well
covered, but it never mentioned the V8 engines and gave a feel that
all the later cars were the victim of people adding-on flared arches
etc. Yes, the car did get more curvy, but that was the way the makers
made it, not owners adding bits. 

Also there was not a mention on the very recent rise and fall of the
Marcos TSO.

However, I am sure there are plenty more articles to come, the Marcos
is that sort of car - and next year is the 50th anniversary - and that
has to be a good opportunity to see more of our cars featured, and let
the world know what we have got !

You are right about the roller coaster, I wonder if the ride is
finally over?

Steve
