One of the most enduring marques, which has become a legend among sports cars,
celebrates 50 years in a new pictorial autobiography entitled Making my Marque
by Jem Marsh, founder of Marcos.
With over 300 photographs, most of them previously unseen, it provides a
colourful journey through adversity, excitement and ingenuity, in a business
world normally dominated by large corporations.
Jem takes us from his early Austin 7 Specials, right through to international
racing success at Le Mans. A unique, first-hand account, this is a very personal
and candid tour of a lifetime spent creating stunning cars which always stood
out from the crowd. Former British World Champion, Jackie Stewart, started his
racing career in a Marcos.
It is a tale of how a British marque was born, manufactured, owned and raced
over 50 years and - when the chips were down - how it was kept alive by the
determination of one man`s instinct to survive.
