been a Marcos nut for 25 years and after owning 5 differant models, no more after Rory stitched it all up and what is this TSO all about thats a poor kit car copy of an Aston Martin rear, with a TVR front, lost the plot. Sensible Offers on the bits please need the space for a real car

Each to their own, I suppose. I'm glad Marcos isn't likely to shut next week, and I think there are enough styling cues in the TSC to continue the marque forwards. The older cars were far more "kit-car" than the new one will ever be, and I do agree that there are similarities to the Aston body shape, but is that really a bad thing?

First customer cars have just started to be delivered, there is a twenty week lead time in build, or thereabouts, so I'd say there are at least a few people out there that like them

I can't afford one, or justify having two very similar cars in the garage (we have a Griff) or I'd be in the queue myself.

and I am sorry but with a price tag of £50 K plus, it wont be around for long

I don't think the price tag will frighten off anyone interested in this kind of car, as £50k is the entry point for this kind of car, both TVR and Noble have similar prices.

Considering the R&D put in by Marcos and the quality of build, I'd say the new cars are exceptionally value for money, and not just in bhp/£ or /£ either.

Well i think the cars fantastic,so much so ive got one on order.Im a lover of tvrs realy,& would have opted for the sagaris if the obvious problems didnt exist at present.The car itself i think will be much easier to live with from a looks point of view (not so garish as the sag)& with the mechanical side.It ticks all the right boxes,British,v8,light,powerfull,well built & a little quirky! with i realy hope a lot of customer focused support from Marcos
