The Marcos LM 500 Spyder was produced from 1995 to 2001. 1 engine (5 liters / 320 hp) is on Histomobile.
Jeff campaigned a recalcitrant Marcos LM 500 in the 1998 British GT Championship, so therefore sees the British GT’s as unfinished business.
The Marcos LM 500 Convertible in yellow. A superb Spark model.
