The original Marcos 1800 coupe of the early '60s was a pure and elegantly muscular sports car, but the shape has responded amazingly badly to subsequent and recent fiddlings, which seem tantamount to vandalism when you see the original. Its absurdly macho wheel arches and spoilers make it look like a mutant, though there's no denying that its appearance suggests power. Still, it has survived, though those with more a refined aesthetic sense may wish it hadn't.
