Marcos 1600GT: 1968 Registration No. ERO 99G: Chassis #5227
This is a rare and very special, wooden chassis Marcos of which only around 200 cars of this model were originally made as hand-built factory cars in Greenland Mills, Bradford on Avon between 1967 and 1969. This particular car has a singular and remarkable history which covers the past 37 years from 1982 onwards with extensive records and documentation to confirm the history plus invoices going back 37 years.
This is no 'Q' plate 1980's kit car with a rusty chassis and little provenance nor is it a stripped-out racer not suitable for road use but a genuine and rare, wooden chassis 1600GT which has had many thousands of pounds expended on it over the years to bring the car to it's current outstanding condition and which is therefore reflected in the asking price.
A true classic sports car of the 1960's which was good enough for Rod Stewart, until he discovered model railways.
This car now starts 'on the button' and goes like the wind as it weighs in at only around 750kgs.
19500 miles on stage 3 competition engine tuned to develop [email protected] (equivalent to 175bhp/ton).Twin 40DCOE webers/244 cam/forged pistons.
Mechanicals and bodywork very good/the odd stone chip and minor crazing as one would expect from a glass fibre body which flexes.
New MOT to 18/07/2020 and just fully serviced.
Full history going back to 1982 filling 2No. A4 ring binders.
£12000 rebuild at MHS in 2014 plus thousands spent since.
Schroth 3-point racing harnesses/Part roll-cage.
Foam-filled aluminium fuel tank/Fire extinguisher and battery cut-off switch.
Gas discharge headlights conversion.
Genuine and rare Becker Europa period push-button radio
Recent front brake calipers and grooved/drilled discs
Adjustable AVO shock absorbers all round plus uprated springs to front/oil cooler and baffled sump.
Re-chromed rear lights and refurbished/ polished stainless steel trim.
Bespoke and unique 72 spoke 6x14" centre-laced wire wheels designed in conjunction with MWS plus triple eared knock-on chrome spinners.
Vredestein Sprint Classic 195/70 R14 91V tyres all round.
Interior re-trimmed plus door/boot and bonnet seals replaced
