A BRITISH sports car maker is set to make a comeback after not producing any vehicles for over 20 years.
The small car manufacturer revealed that they have three new projects underway.
PAThe 66 year-old company announced their revived brand development program[/caption]Dating back to 1959, Marcos began producing sports cars designed for racing, such as the Xylon before it went into liquidation more than two decades ago.
Owner and chairman of Marcos, Howard Nash, said: “Marcos is a much-loved British sports car brand.
“It has a wonderful history but also an ethos of simplicity for raw, driver-focused handling.
“It’s an analogue experience you can’t get from large car manufacturers and supercar brands, and one which I think enthusiasts hanker after today.”
He added: “We want to honour that original ethos while being forward-looking too, giving Marcos a new, younger audience, as well as bringing the brand back for those who grew up with it.”
F1 champions, including Jackie Stewart, and Derek Bell who has won Le Mans multiple times, have been behind the wheel of these British motors.
The new Marcos projects are reported to be under evaluation at the moment.
The first one is teased to be a “faithful reimaging of a much-loved Marcos model,” according the firm.
The second is expected to be a completely new model, that may even be suitable for use on the track and road.
It will, however, “honour the brand ethos of light weight, simplicity and seat-of-the-pants handling,” the company states.
The final project hopes to stay true to the cars’ history on the road.
This comes with the Marcos Car Company’s rights to original body moulds in its vehicles, as well as their manufacturing tooling.
Further details are likely to be revealed later.
The three new projects will be the first cars the manufacturer has produced in more than 20 years
