Marcos Coupes & Spyders Gold Portfolio 1960-97

The image of Marcos was shaped by Dennis Adams styling for the car, which started out as a Volvo-engined 1800 in the early 1960s. That shape went on to be modified into the Mantula, Spyder and Mantara. Always designed as a fast road car this depended on the engine chosen. In the GT the Volvo B18 was supplemented by Ford 1600, Volvo 3-litre and late the Rover 3.5-litre V8. In the Mini-Marcos the 850cc eventually grew to 1300cc giving a good performance. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, technical and specification data, drivers impressions, background, history.
