Pictures after being "trimmed".








The alacantara looks rather bright!

Are those alfa 33 vents I see in the dashboard?

Looks like a nice job (although perhaps I wouldnt have picked such a bold colour!)

It's certainly vivid joust, but looks like a nice colour.
They've obviously evolved the interior slightly since I saw a TS250 last year.
It's similar to the original interiors but very different at the same time, if you know what I mean.

Any word on a delivery date yet?
Marcos seem like me in that they keep missing deadlines.
(the car will hit the road this year.....I think)

Bad news joust. Was at the Marcos factory today to test the TS500 for PH (finally) and they've ripped your interior out again...

The good news is that they were busy working on the wiring loom and that they've now had the patterns made for the production exhaust system.

Doesn't look as though it'll be much longer before it's on the road - you lucky sod!

From what I understand it doesn't look that "garish" in the flesh (Graham - perhaps you could comment - I've yet to see it but the swatch of fabric I have tends to suggest that it's not actually that bright in real life?)

The car will be at the Motorshow for anyone and everyone to see - see the new thread for details.

That'll probably be also because I'm having SatNav added tomorrow

What did you think of the colour scheme - too bright?

Not quite as bold as the marcos on ebay - I would snap that up if it wasnt quite so universally... red.

Didn't get to see the Alcantara because it had all been taken out, but that blue paint really suits it. Of course I only saw it inside - apparently it takes on a different hue in bright sunlight.

Guess you'll have to bring it along to Pistonfest so we can all see it.

And here is the latest. Sans interior - but such is the fun of hand built cars...




Counting the days until I see it finished.....

Only if you ask me *very* nicely - so that's you out for a start Graham - I'll make sure Alan puts a big "Sod Off Mr Bell" on it for you

Joust, the interior looks good, a little bright but it’ll stand out

What day/days will you at the motorshow?

I'll be there on the Tuesday. The car should be there from the Saturday but I confirm nearer the time.
