Description
Recently subjected to a partial restoration by its owner, this 1600GT is a good example of the wood-chassis, classic Marcos GT. Accompanied by an extensive folder of invoices, this car features numerous and highly-desirable improvements, including re-bushed and powder-coated suspension, trunnion-less uprights, larger brake calipers and Gaz adjustable coilovers on all corners.
Re-painted in Jaguar Opalescent Silver Blue and sitting on Wolfrace Slot Mag style wheels, the car presents well cosmetically. Almost all of the exterior trim is re-furbished or new, including the Webasto sunroof at a cost of £616 in 2024, and a host of other parts such as the rear window and chrome and rubber trim pieces. The interior trim presents in similar condition to the exterior, the vinyl and corduroy trim in good condition overall.
Under the bonnet, a 1600cc Ford Crossflow engine, sitting in a re-finished subframe, has been paired with a new Weber carburettor and a new exhaust exhaust system. A host of additions have been made for reliability and usability, including a compact alternator in place of the original dynamo, electronic ignition, a Coolex aluminium radiator and an updated wiring loom with additional fuses and relays.
