1969 Marcos V6 - press qoutes

What the press said:
'Motor' 1969:
Ford 3 litre road test : "It looks different, it feels different and it really is different from just about any other car on the road, in all sorts of ways."
"Where the Marcos excels even more is in its fantastic roadholding, probably the best of any production car we have ever driven.Its superb, lurch-free cornering makes it extremely fast across country, and its progress viewed from above would look like a squat arrow darting, swooping, squirting its way round mobile and static chicanes...its top gear acceleration from 30 to 100 mph actually betters that of an E-type....the E-type has a rival on performance/cost ratio."
"If you've ever driven a well set-up production car on racing tyres, say a modified MGB, you will have some idea of the cornering power of the Marcos on normal 175-13 Avon radials."
"Fast and striking, this car is an extrovert among sports machinery and we all found it tremendous fun to drive and we readily tolerated its failings."

'Kit Car' 1990
Ford V6 report : "...I was in control of a pure driving machine..."
"...the handling and responses making each back lane blast a truly pleasurable experience."
