What a great color and it looks showroom(did Marcos have showrooms?) Have not seen one in decades. Plywood chassis ? or is that some kind of urban myth. Congrats on a unique ride.

Plywood frame abandoned about'67. Steel ones rot faster though! This one sure looks great.

Thank you kindly. Marcos switched to steel frames in 1969. I have now converted the 13” wheels to 16”. There are about 80 in North America but maybe only 25+ in running condition.

Thats a real beauty. This is an example of what gets made when designers and fabricators have a real passion for their craft.

Our club president (British Sports Cars Alaska) drives a '69 Marco GT. Way cool.
