Beautiful Marcos Sportscar from 1968

This one a stunning sportscar. Even today, it looks futuristic… in that retro futurism way that looks so good, if you get it right… and so bad if you miss by an inch. Imagine the impression it made in 1968, when it pitched up at the Spa 24 hour race, against the (equally lovely) curvaceous Porsches, Ferraris and Ford GT40's of the day. Forty plus years later this Marcos XP has been lovingly restored to it's full 1968 racing spec, and  is doing the rounds of the vintage exhibition / classic racing circuits. I found this on the ever excellent Coolist site. If you want to find out more about the Marcos XP, that's where I'd recommend you start.
