Marcos 50th Anniversary Rally

Only a couple of weeks to go now until what looks like being one of the largest and most exciting gatherings of Marcos cars for some time. Taking place over three days in mid August (14th - 16th), the event will culminate with the sight of various types of Marcos - from the early wooden chassis models to the beefy LM500 - speeding up the celebrated Prescott hill climb. A number of famous names are expected to be in attendance including Jem Marsh (the 'Mar' of Marcos), the Formula 1 driver and Arrows founder Jackie Oliver, the 1961 Autosport Championship winner John Sutton and possibly Jackie Stewart, whose early motor racing career saw him borrowing one of the first seven Gullwing cars, famously nicknamed the 'Ugly Duckling'. For a full account of this early period in the Marcos story see 'The Wooden Wonder' here. To ensure that this memorable event is properly recorded for posterity I will be on hand with a Sony Z7 to capture the cars in action and to record interviews with those happy to reminisce about their association with Marcos over the years.
