Restored and "improved" 1969 Marcos GT 3 liter, 1 of 145. Does modifications affect the price of a classic car? At $34 500, you can be the judges. Nice Price or Crack Pipe?

Not that cheap after all, I just realized that the average price of these cars is much lower that I previously tough. These are no E-Types, I admit.

Sexy.

These had plywood chassis' if I remember correctly. Don't let that put you off though, they're motorsport proved and bloody clever.

Edit: just clicked through the link and it looks like this is a later steel-chassis car. Heavier, but probably just as well with the Essex 3.0l lump up front.

So you could order those with a carbon-neutral chassis? Clever Brits, always ahead of the curve.

You could only get the four bangers in the plywood cars, so yay steel.
