http://p206.ezboard.com/bmarcossports is the best way to contact marcos owners.

There are two clubs
Club Marcos International and The Marcos Owners Club.
They basically contain the same people and there are two of them because of a historic schism not through over subscribed membership.

The forum is probably the best place as there are so few marcos there arnt many local clubs.

Oh, and can you arange a trackday somewhere without dB restrictions ta

tumbleweed Doesn't seem to be overflowing with posts... I guess there are not that many Marcos owners out there!

Well, when you consider there were only 35 LM's made and 37 Mantis, you realise you're not dealing with a huuuuge owners club.
There are more of the earlier cars, but not many. I think the most cars marcos ever made in 1 year was 70.

Puts it in perspective really.

Interesting, I had no idea numbers were so low. Almost puts it in to Kit Car territory. Is the TSO going to be built in larger numbers?

Let me get this right...

TSO GTC = Coupe
TSO R/T = Targa
TSO ??? = Convertible

Whats the TSC?

You just need a password to enable posting, not to register. A necessary evil unfortunately, after the Forum got spammed with porn links... which I wouldn't have minded but they were crap ones!

I was quite surprised by this, myself.

After all the test drives/comments by future customers and "interested" parties, Tony decided to implement some changes. 126 in fact. Because of all the suggestions, the car changed so much, that it was decided to call the production car the TSC. "C" refers to all the changes made.

The TSO is the prototype, the "grey" one.

Hereafter, the cars, as I understand them, are "C" for coupe, and R/T for Targa. The full convertible won't be seen for a little while yet, as there is a lot of work to be undertaken in making the full Convertible. But, having driven the prototype Convert, it will be worth the wait.

I can't wait to try it on our favourite Griff route, to give a true Griff v Marcos test. How did it perform, check the mpg, how much duty free can you bring back, how many people took your photo, type stuff. After all, when you're comparing like with like, this is what matters, right?
