Marcos Mini GT, 1965. Sold as a kit car with a fibreglass monocoque using running gear and subframes from the original Mini. The Mini Marcos has had several iterations. Between 1965 and 1970 by Marcos Engineering, then from 1974 to 1981 by D & H Fibreglass Techniques. More recently production has been restarted by the relaunched Marcos still using classic Mini mechanical parts. The Mini Marcos was the only British car to finish (in 15th place) in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans

Being trans is like building a kit car out of your '87 Pontiac Fiero.

You really shouldn't cheap out on the body work but most do. The title still says Fiero. You get upset when people can tell it's a Fiero instead of a Testarossa after all your work.

No it's not wrong to call a Fiero a Fiero.

Yes it's wrong to try to pass a kit car off as the real car.

99% of the time you would have been better off mentally, socially, and financially to just enjoy the Fiero instead of butchering it up.

Stonham Barns Classic Car Show 2023 (part 2)

Carrying on from my post part one of the show, I moved down the line of cars and came across a true iconic cars ever made, the classic Model T tourer. The only thing I didn’t like was the ‘slow vehicle’ slapped across the back of it, but I could see why they did it. This little gem almost got my vote! Another poster of cars I had on wall was of the white Lotus Esprit from the James Bond movie,…
