This vehicle was made using wood monocoque construction similar to aircraft in the 30's and 40's. Marcos are really wooden cars vs Morgan’s that have a metal chassis.
Production numbers were very low for the Marcos with a total 1500 produced, and only 250 of them with a wood chassis.
The COS in Marcos was Frank Costin a aerodynamicist at de Havilland aircraft company and prolific in his work with Lotus, Lister Etc .
The original price for Marcos GT1500 was on par with the Jaguar XKE. Marco's were very low cars but able to accommodate a tall drivers as the seats were fixed but the pedal box was adjustable.
