Marcos Motor Company is officially back in the game. After nearly two decades away from production, the legendary British marque is launching a bold new era. With fresh leadership and an authentic respect for its roots, Marcos Motor Company is now working on three exciting projects that aim to reignite the brand’s raw, analog spirit.
Marcos Motor Company Plans a True Revival
Unlike brands that trade on nostalgia alone, Marcos is building a future rooted in hands-on performance. The company now operates under Automotive Vision, led by chairman Howard Nash. With deep motorsport and engineering credentials, Nash brings a unique blend of passion and know-how to the table.
Project #1 pays homage to a beloved Marcos classic. Its silhouette is familiar, but the platform and powertrain are modern. Developed primarily for track use, this reimagining already has a running prototype. It’s not just a tribute, it’s a statement of purpose.
New Marcos Models Embrace Innovation and Heritage
Project #2 will break new ground. This all-new creation doesn’t borrow from past Marcos designs. Instead, it carries the spirit of simplicity, lightness, and feedback. A fully crash-tested, homologated rolling chassis has already been built. Road and track readiness are both on the table.
Project #3 takes things back to the beginning. With ownership of original body moulds, tooling, and jigs, Marcos Motor Company can produce official continuation cars. These aren’t replicas. They’re authentic, factory-produced Marcos models, true to the originals, right down to the iconic badges.
A Nod to Marcos Performance History
The legacy of Marcos is as bold as its future. Its early cars shaped racing history, driven by legends like Jackie Stewart and Derek Bell. They pioneered the monocoque chassis in racing, and the Mini Marcos became a hero at Le Mans in 1966.
Celebrity owners from Rod Stewart to Jay Leno have championed the brand. Even Roger Moore almost drove a Marcos in The Saint. In the ‘90s and 2000s, GT racing success continued to keep the name alive.
The 1998 Mantis GT, a 500-horsepower monster, became Britain’s first road car to hit that milestone. These aren’t forgotten footnotes, they’re building blocks for what’s coming next.
Supporting Current Owners with Heritage Spares
Marcos Motor Company isn’t leaving current owners behind. The long-standing Marcos Heritage Spares division continues to offer genuine parts, servicing, and upgrades. With the backing of the broader Automotive Vision group, these services now gain even more technical strength and reach.
Whether it’s a fresh engine tune or preserving a cherished model, existing customers can count on Marcos.
Summary
Marcos Motor Company’s return is more than a revival, it’s a redefinition. With three vehicle programs in the works and a firm grip on its historic assets, Marcos is looking ahead without losing sight of what made it special. Expect raw thrills, unique design, and a connection between driver and machine that modern cars often forget.
The next generation of Marcos cars is already on the way, and this time, they’re built to inspire both loyal fans and a new wave of driving purists.
