We spoke with experts about what makes one car a patina-adorned survivor and another a basket case in need of new chrome and a paint job. The Fabulous Marcos GT: You may not know it, but Jackie Stewart owned a Marcos GT when he was an F1 world champion. What is a Marcos, and who were the automotive legends who designed this little-known and -understood classic?

As you know, our friends at Mini Mania will be helping us restore this forgotten piece of Mini history. Our Mini came with a head, though it wasn’t bolted to the engine—or to anything, for that matter. In fact, it wasn’t even near the car when we first saw it. We managed to dig it out of a pile of old Mini parts that were included with the car. We decided to send the head to Dave Anton at <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?MotorsportMarketing/71972d99e2/176cd14cd8/8ef2d2cfb8> APT so he could look it over. There are very few of these 1275 Cooper S heads around anymore, as they have a tendency to crack. Apparently, most have been run hard and haven't taken kindly to it (at least in stock form). Fortunately, ours was not cracked, but it did need valve seats. It had had several valve jobs in its lifetime, and at least the last one had not been done well. Dave suggested we just use a much more common Sprite/Midget head, then put this rare piece on a shelf. We refused, as we want to keep this car as original as possible. As with George Washington’s proverbial axe, once you start changing stuff, where does it stop? Catch up on the progress of our new Mini and all our project cars on the Classic Motorsports Project Cars page here <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?MotorsportMarketing/71972d99e2/176cd14cd8/63cfdf509a> .

They invited the filmmaker to his first race in 2009, and he immediately asked why more people didn’t know about this sport. Vintage racing is so visually stunning and so different from what the average person thinks of racing today. This is a humble movie made in the filmmaker's basement. No love stories, no subplots, just great racing.
