That you should not be able to call a car ugly if it looks better than the Marcos Mantis.

Yikes.

That’s a terrible metric for ugly cars, I think it’s fucking awesome.

I dunno, I kind of like it. I mean, it is pretty dang ugly, but you can see that it could have been a pretty car if it had just been a little less, uh, droopy.

The interior was actually decidedly unterrible.

Because you like the Mantis.

It has a sort of misunderstood, yet lovable look.

It’s like they found a surplus of very cheap windshields and designed a car (to suit) around them.

Granted that Mantis wasn’t a hell of a looker but other ones looked pretty good.

1968

1996-2001

Ford Quad Cam 4.6 V8 with the Mantis GT being supercharged.

I like the 5.0litre V8 Marcos TS 500 Spyder.

and especially the TS250

You can’t call that ugly. It’s functional, combined with an exceedingly large dose of Frank Costin not giving a fuck about looks compared to functionality.

No doubt, Marcos can make some pretty goddamn sexy cars if they try.

Sadly, no more since 2007.

Amazingly Marcos used wood for their frames! Google, “plywood monocoque chassis”.
