What ever happened to Chris Beighton's Marcos, is he still racing it?

Chris still has the Marcos Mantis and only intended racing a few of the British GT races last season.

Hes brought a Lola T70 and intends to have it running for this season for some of the classic races and Le Mans.

Cheers Boss for the pics - Well there's a surprise, it had to be orange, does anyone know if he still has his original orange Sunbeam Tiger? Chris is responsible for my Tuscan Challenge Car purchase, I've been a quiet fan of Chris since watching him battle in his Tiger with the American muscle cars and the Astons (including Peter Wheeler's Aston), £ for £ the Tiger wooped the lot.

I must say that's one of the oddest racingcar schemes I've seen . . . but then orange is his color:


The '64 Tiger at Spa6 '06: Ford 302 V8, 490bhp @ 6800rpm, 4 box.


Thundering stuff.


I guess power will be about the same as in the Tiger? Way better sound though!


Feck me it can't get any better than this . . .

Thanks for the pics, as far as you can develop a Tiger that one is a serious bit of kit and very exciting to watch in the flesh, I'm not too sure about the Lola, I've never really come across them before - is that one of Chris's a special car?

How can one be 'not sure' about a Mk3B T70?

Well that link has established my appreciation for the Lola, the Jury are back in the room and yes its a beautiful car.

In the flesh - sight 'n sound - they are awesome. I want one over a 917 or GT40.

Price wise, what would you be looking at for the Lola?

[dinkel]

I thought something like 150K . . . without an engine.

You have to check their website for the cont. T70.

Chris still has the Sunbeam as he was driving it at the Silverstone Classic this year.

Chris is building himself up quite a collection of racing cars, I first saw Chris a few years ago whilst he was racing his Tiger, awsome car, I own a Sunbeam Tiger myself and it came very close to being converted into a race car, couldnt do it in the end as its such an original car only having done 1000miles since 1977.
Im currently having a Tuscan Challenge car built and guess what its going to be orange, never know I might get the chance to give the Tiger a wooping on the track however, I've got to learn how to drive it first!

Won't be easy to haul a huge lump of iron around the track!
