This Marcos 3000 GT is a solid example of the rare British-built sports car, which is presented as a ‘project’ in need of some recommissioning and restoration. Under the bonnet sits a 3.0-litre Ford ‘Essex’ V6, delivering around 107kW to the rear wheels through a replacement five-speed manual gearbox. This Marcos 3000 GT has been with its current and fourth owner for eight years. Its odometer currently displays 46,027 miles, however this is not warranted. First introduced in 1964, the Marcos GT featured fibreglass bodywork and a Frank Costin-designed plywood monocoque chassis. It was introduced as an interesting alternative to the vehicles offered by the marque’s competitors, such as Lotus. In late 1969, six-cylinder cars switched to a steel chassis, which this car is fitted with. This 3000 GT is finished in green with a yellow stripe which also encompasses the lower front valance, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior with grey carpets and red harnesses. It rides on a set of 14-inch Minilite-style alloy wheels finished in gold with polished rims, which are fitted with semi-slick Bridgestone tyres. The seller notes that the gearbox installed in the car is not the original. The car will be accompanied by the original bill of sale and the original overdrive gearbox. Please note: the cherished numberplate shown on the car is not included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The seller notes that the car suffered bodywork damage in the past, which has been repaired. Specific notes from the seller include: the front clam has been restored and resprayed and the condition is very good, the rest of the car also needs to be resprayed. Inside, the interior is in fair condition, but the upholstery would benefit from repair or restoration. The seller notes that the electrics require attention, and that the car is in need of restoration, which would include a repaint, along with the replacement of the suspension and bushings. This Marcos 3000 GT is a solid example of the rare British-built sports car, which is presented by the seller as a ‘project’ in need of some recommissioning and restoration. Fitted with the potent 3.0-litre ‘Essex’ V6 engine and weighing in at under 900kgs, the 3000 GT is a lively and playful road car, and an ideal classic racer. Now waiting for a marque enthusiast to restore it to its former glory, it could be recommissioned and used as-is, or stripped back and treated to a more in-depth refurbishment.
