From EVO car magazine (Sept issue): 

"A while back, Jethro Bovingdon introduced the Marcos TSO R/T roadster as
'one of those cars that you desperately want to drive...' This was because
it had a big engine up front driving the rear wheels and it was light and
simple. He was right on the money, of course, and I doubt you'll find an
enthusiast anywhere to disagree." 

"...(The Marcos) will pull from nothing in any gear, an ability that creates
a sense of enormous power but with no special knowledge or experience
necessary either to access or control it." 

(Not on sale worldwide including USA and Australia.)

"Just the sinister blat at idle and the way each stroke of the pistons zings
around your body leave in no doubt this car is totally dominated by its
engine." 

"Sure enough, the GT2 is explosively fast in any gear and at any time. Open
the taps in fourth at 2000rpm and the horizon is tugged mercilessly
backwards in an instant to the tune of the meanest V8 cacaphony this side of
a 1970 Trans Am car" - Autocar Magazine Sept. '05

Marcos maps U.S. comeback; Canadian owner wants to import UK sports cars by
2006 

Revitalized British sports car maker Marcos is eyeing the United States for
a possible introduction in late 2006. Now owned by Canadian Tony Stelliga,
who has businesses in California's Silicon Valley, Marcos has a new,
two-model lineup -the TSO soft-top and GT2 coupe, the latter just revealed.
A restyled coupe is already on sale in Australia.

eBay Alert: Marcos 3 Liter for sale

Whose car is this?  Surely someone will recognize it...

Seller (eurocol) says this car is the 1970/71 N.Y. Motor Show car and was 
featured in Car & Driver magazine December 1970.

Damn, never heard of this one either although "eurocol" won a bid on a 
Marcos last month.  The serial # can't be right on this car.  80 of 
the Volvo 6 cars were made with #'s from 5506-5967.  I sent seller a 
question so we'll see.  $27,500 ???????  Hmmmmmmmm.

Re: [MarcosManiacs] eBay Alert: Marcos 3 Liter for sale

2005-09-01 by Donny Lang

Andy and others,
This car looks like the one Hayes Harris (Wire Wheel,Vero Bch, FL) may have sold in 2002 or 2003. He had a Marcos that was supposed to be the magazine/show car that I looked at before I settled for my project car. It was Chroma Yellow with black interior, Volvo w/ automatic (with a moderate leak!), Lotus taillights, recessed door handles, tempered glass rear window, bolstered center console, Marcos name on the petal box, and Marcos alloys including spare. I even recognize the steering wheel with the 5 hub screws instead or the usual 6. I'm sure this is the same car I test drove. I will call Hayes tomorrow to follow up to see if it went to California. If it is the same car, it was in really nice shape.

Donny,
Is your serial # 2M5514? And what's the correct year?
I thought this car looked familiar. I thought Michael Crews got it in West Virginia? Please let us know what Hayes has to say. I'm really curious! Thanks.

Re: [MarcosManiacs] eBay Alert: Marcos 3 Liter for sale

Don,
My car is a 1969 (October delivery in the UK) that was painted MidChroma Yellow, but resprayed Artic White before it left the factory delaying delivery about 3 weeks. Rory has sent a new ID tag along with a copy of the build files, but they are still in transit. I will see if it has a 2M prefix when I receive it. Larry Meadows contacted me saying his car had the chassis number (and car color) hand written on the dash sub-panel behind the speedo and tach. I pulled out my gauges, and there was 5514 mid c yellow in red felt tip marker! Rory has confirmed other details that this is correct.
I spoke with Hayes a short time ago, and he said he saw Michael Crews this past January in Daytona and he still had the car Hayes sold to him at that time. Hayes was interested to see the documentation on the one on eBay as far as being the show /magazine car which he had with the car when he owned the one sold to Michael Crews. He said he thought that there were only 3 Volvo automatic sold in the USA; the show car (yellow), one in New England for sale over a year ago (? color), and Larry Meadows car (white). Hayes also said his former one had a replacement bonnet, in addition to the features I pointed out on my earlier response. I looked VERY closely at the car when Hayes was selling it and almost bought that one. I think the one currently offered on eBay is the one I looked at that Hayes sold to Michael Crews. Does someone want to contact Michael Crews?

Donny,

Thanks for the info.  I think your absolutely correct about the 
Marcos.  The headlamp covers are from an earlier car so possibly a 
replacement bonnet.  I too almost bought that one and asked Hayes a 
million questions about it.  He told me it had been a onw owner car.

"eurocol" could possibly be a "flipper" but let's wait and get our 
facts straight first.

Just heard from the seller.  Car # is 3V5630.  Last location I have 
for the car is Enfield, CT. earlier this year.  Seller appears to be 
an exotic car dealer in Tarzana California.

I emailed Michael Crews also.

Don,
I was mistaken. This car is a twin to the one Hayes was selling (Crews car). The chassis number of the the one I looked at was #5613 (Crews?). The one for sale is the "New England" car that Hayes was referring to. Now, which one is the real show/magazine car? Were there, in fact, only 3 Volvo cars with automatic transmissions that came to the USA as Hayes thinks? If so, then they are all accounted for.

Hello Donny,

don´t think that there were only 3 Marcos with 3 ltr. Volvo & Automatic. James Twiss did import from USA some years ago a 3 ltr. Volvo Automatic in red.

Here you can see the restauration of this car and the original colour. It is now "Brooklands" Green and is "For Sale" and surely worth the money with 11.990 €.

website in english: http://www.james-twiss.nl/main.php?l=gb

Have some more pictures of the car but don´t find for the moment the chassis-number.

Hey everyone,
I just looked at the photos on ebay. Those bumpers look like the later 
style without the earlier "underriders".  Am I mistaken?
Regards,

Hampton,

You're correct.  That's what is on mine also.  Not sure models, etc. 
got the others.  In the 80's they had lights in them also.

Got an email from Michael Crews and he still has his 3 Litre and has 
no intent of selling it!  It's 3V5613.
