@citronr1 2 года назад

Jem MARsh and Philip COStin developed the Marcos. Get it? MAR-COS. However the guest mentioned that. Jem (Jeremy) Marsh was an honorable man. Nearly 13 months into the ownership of my 1969 Marcos 3 Liter V6 (Wood) I blew a valve on the Essex (ex Ford Zodiak) V6 and even though there was no warranty because I was in the US and the Marcos was never sold there. There was no arguing. I simply wrote Jem Marsh and told what what had happened. He responded graciously with an apology and shipped me an entire new engine short block to me in Michigan and paid for it's installation as well. They don't make them like that anymore.

I know, I got a surprise to hear it was a Ford V6, with that note I was expecting something a little more exotic. I remember when I was younger seeing a V6 Capri that used this same engine around where I lived and that was a very quick car. they were more popular here in Australia because the 4 cylinders tended to be underpowered.

Back in the 70s and 80s Marcos was equivalent to Lotus, TVR and Morgan, they even competed at Le Mans 24 hours. Their last car was the Marcos TSO reviewed by Top Gear 2006: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KiCB6pP6EEo.html

Fraser is a quintessential English gentleman. I was a regular subscriber to Autocar magazine in the early seventies, there were a few other English "kit car makers of sports cars such as Gilbern Genie and Ginetta,based in Wales. Ogle,and TVR were others, plus of course the Lotus seven, By the way the sunglasses he is wearing are Persol as worn by James Bond in Spectre.

@sinemetu9037 5 лет назад

I think the sunglasses worn in Spectre are made by Tom Ford... I apologize if I am wrong.

NJF no, you're correct - I think the producers were quite upset when Craig was photographed hanging around between takes wearing his own Persols when Tom Ford was endorsing the franchise.

Even though my daughter and I are in the middle of restoring a 1970 Triumph Bonneville T 120 R (she fell in love with this basket case bike and I kinda got sucked in), I'm not a big fan of anything British. However, this car is flat out GORGEOUS! The old "Trumpet" will be too once she's finished. We're going completely stock on the bike but baby girl is having trouble deciding on the colors. The funny thing about this restoration is that some guy saw us rolling the bike around outside my shop with no engine. He stopped and offered us $1000 for the roller. My daughter told him it's not for sale since it's a daddy/daughter project. He said ok, so, how bout $600 for just the gas tank and Triumph emblems (which happen to be in mint condition), again, she said no. I wonder what his offer would've been if he'd known that we also have a N.O.S. Lucas tail light in the box on a shelf inside the shop. Doesn't matter, the answer still would've been no.
