Not exactly my cup of tea, but it sure has a very exotic look about it. The seller claims it was last driven in 1969, and I believe it.

Here's an interesting link to a restored one in Hemmings: Link to Marcos 1800GT Restoration article (https://www.hemmings.com/blog/article/plywood-and-pluck-1965-marcos-1800-gt/)

Below is a link to the auction:

The steering wheel had a wood ring attached to the 2 spikes with no reinforcement ring inside the wood. No wonder they all broke. I’m sure those wheels accounted for a few scary stories.

Cool car! I hope somebody restores it and gives it another life.

Fiberglas body skin attached to a plywood structure that also held the suspension.
