Marcos Maniacs

Gary,

 

I do not think there were ever any drawings of the early chassis.  I have
some photos of the monocoque which are shown in the article on
www.motormarques.com <http://www.motormarques.com/>

Hi John
What I found somewhat ironic is the production volume is roughly 
the same as the original. 6 cars verses ~10 models. I have always had 
a soft spot for the Marcos, one because of Frank Costins involvement 
and two the use of plywood for the chassis. Does anyone have photos 
of the monocoque or better still drawings?

Gary
