Marcos 1800 GT

The Marcos 1800 GT was first introduced in 1964 by Marcos Engineering LTD as their first mass produced car. This low coupé was originally fitted with a cast iron P18 Volvo powertrain but would see many iterations across its production. The car was produced in two phases, the first one lasting from 1964-1972 until it was later resurrected for a final run from 1981-1990.
