I will let Rich know about the facebook link, he will definately be interested :-)
He has been busy doing army stuff lately so doesnt get on here much.
Cheers for the heads up, it looks almost identical with some subtle modern changes, very tidy.

I agree it looks nice but nothing like a Marcos.

I can't believe that it is anything to do with the original marcos company.
in fact http://www.marcos-eng.com/index.html
I wonder how they stand legally using the Marcos name?

Doesn't appear to exist outside of facebook.

Thankyou guys, that is interesting.
What i know;
There was a guy (Thanks Andy for putting me in touch with him) that has apparently bought the rights to build these cars, along with the moulds etc.
I understood from talking to him that he was looking at the V6 mondeo engine, which ties in with the twin tailpipes. He emailed me a picture of
"One of his Cars" that turned out to be a picture of my car, that i took outside my parents house!! -- We've since lost contact.
He mentioned about new designs and looking at doing something radical (as in crazy)with it, so this could very well be it.
http://www.viored.org/ makes an interesting read, with no address or contact details, just an online form. I suspect one of these guys is the owner
of the car.
I have since been in touch with another guy that claimed to be the original designer and builder of my car, (though he never actually proved anything
to me, other than a few old photos by email), however he was Leicestershire based so i dont think it is him. He mentioned a car under development,
though when i asked to see a photo he declined, saying that an unfinished design should never be displayed etc etc.
It looks quite nice, though the missing rear quarters makes it look a little out of proportion IMO. An incentive to get mine painted. The rear
spoiler in the photo is a fibreglass one, probably off the original bodywork like i had on mine once upon a time!!
Thanks again chaps.

I have to agree, the rear quarter windows on yours make the side profile look 'finished' mate.
Still nice to see some progress on what I think is a good looking shell, we need a locost bbq, bring your own beer spray prepping weekend :-)
I know you still have some silver paint lurking in the man cave & I have a decent sized compressor & a couple of spray guns :-)

Sounds like a plan for the summer!! Will the car fit in your back garden?
