The demonstrator is on show there and it's been resprayed from that 'orrible green to a rather nice sort of charcoal/black.

The door trim has been redesigned and I was extremely impressed. The quality of the interior was excellent (i.e. nice design but very well screwed together, no dodgy bits of glue or loose leather/vinyl etc).

Bit of an update as I spent a bit of time talking to the salesman.

- seats are now adjustable instead of the pedal box moving.
- interior is lovely now. Lots of yummy milled aluminium
- seats are much better than the ones at the NEC.
- seats are lowered so I can now fit in (at 6ft3) without looking over the top of the windscreen
- the air vents on the side will be made out of carbon (as an option)

It's getting better and better. The company is also making damn sure its reliable and sorted before selling. Oh and they use one of the best engines in the world so no rebuilds after 2k miles...

Love it!

Marcos aim to deliver the first customer TSOs next spring, though I've no idea how many orders they have.

Hi Oggs - No, i've hardly driven it! Bl00dy english weather It's currently at Verdi's for a major service, looking forward to getting her back in fine fettle......

I'm just thinking ahead for my next purchase

I've been in communication with Mark Aylott and Tony Stelliga from Marcos and they are booking test drives for late Dec early Jan. Delivery would then be in May/June.

No mail Oggs Car is due back in a week or so, so i'll pop over to give you a listen to the Capristo

You'll be please to know that not only are Marcos open to additional "power upgrades" on the TSO R/T but i might be the fisrt owner with the supercharger option. Around 600bhp according to the good folk at Marcos

Apparently this should present no problem for the Viper transmission used by Marcos, just a couple of ECU tweaks, slighly bigger AP's so the stopping matches the going and away we go..............well Ok it might not be quite that simple

Oh, you could also ask for a line lock, auto-box with a trans brake, Eaton 112, launch & traction control with the ecu 9 second et's could be realistic?

That'll get you going some!
