Auto Car: Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Marcos GT 3 Litre

While the provenance of this 1970 Marcos GT 3 Litre for sale on Hemmings.com is spotty, particularly when it comes to the history of the work done on it (engine rebuild, reupholstered interior), it appears to be in perfectly driveable condition and it certainly will stand out at pretty much every car gathering one can find here in the States. From the seller’s description:

Vin # 3M 5824. 3.0 Litre V6 GT in excellent condition. Bought several years ago from the team that used to work at the factory in the UK. It runs smoothly and it has only been driven a few 100 miles over the past few years in San Diego to shows brunch est. As far as I know everything works (need to check the radio). Here is a brief summary about the car:

GENERAL: it is a steel frame car built in the factory – no rust no collision repair. Mileage is 81K ENGINE: it is the factory Essex V6, as it left the factory. Starts, and drives smoothly and it has synthetic oil in it. It is likely that it was rebuilt before but we have no records. The car has the 4 speed tranny + overdrive on top gears. Overdrive works well. BODY: I think the leather interior was redone because it looks like new. I”d say the paint is near perfect, but it has some cracks because of the flexible fiberglass construction. These flaws are not really visible if you not searching for them.
