Mantara (1993)

Marcos was founded by young engineer Jem Marsh. Working with aerodynamicist Frank Costin, they created the first Marcos in 1959. The name Marcos is the combination of their surnames. 5 years later, a more successful car, Marcos GT, was launched. The GT has a beautiful shape and a tubular space frame chassis. Power came from Volvo 1.8-litre at first but later came the Rover V8. The company bankrupted two times but the demand for the car brought it back to production. Today the company is still relying on the variants of Marcos GT.
