About the Marcos 3L V6
The Marcos GT is the name used by the British firm of Marcos Engineering Ltd for all of their cars until the introduction of the Mantis in 1970. Most commonly, the name is used to describe the very low coupé designed by brothers Dennis and Peter Adams.
The car was first introduced as the Marcos 1800 in 1964, with a wooden chassis and a Volvo P1800 engine, although later models had a steel chassis and commonly Ford engines although others were also available. The majority of these sports cars were sold in kit form.
New at the October 1968 London Show was the more powerful Marcos 3 litre.Fitted with the double-carb Ford Essex V6 engine (3012E) and transmission from the Ford Zodiac, production beginning in January 1969.Max power is 140 bhp (104 kW) and aside from the badging, this car is most easily recognized by the large, central bonnet bulge necessary to clear the larger engine.The 3 litre has a four-speed manual with a Laycock-de-Normanville Overdrive for the third and fourth gears fitted.
