MARCOS BITES THE DUST
Breaking News: Marcos has filed for insolvency
After searching long and hard for a new backer, road going Marcos production
is about to come to an end. 42 years of production will cease on April 6th
when a liquidator will be appointed.
Luckily it won't be the end of Marcos completely. Despite the relatively few
road cars that were being produced, Marcos has experienced great success on
the track with many cars now competing in GT series in Europe. The racing
arm was sold off to a Dutch consortium back in 1997 and will continue
unaffected.
It's rumoured that Marcos were working on a smaller, cheaper sports car, but
this is unlikely to ever see the light of day now.

Sad sad sad! Maybe Peter Wheeler will buy them out and have two wonderful
sports car companies going!
