	Marcos. Who is Marcos? What is Marcos? Where is Marcos? Definition of Marcos. Meaning of Marcos.
		The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin.

		The name Marcos was derived from the surnames of Jem Marsh and Frank Costin, and was first fitted to a cycle-winged car.
		Jem realised that by producing cars accepted as racing cars their production would always be limited.
		In 1976 Jem Marsh was able to buy back the Marcos name and moulds, which had languished in various hands since 1972.

		Jem didn’t use the British spec Ford 3.0 V6 as it was in his opinion too heavy and oily for the American market.
		With Jem Marsh, Philip Hulme and Jems son Chris at the helm, the future was suddenly looking bright, there were racing successes in various categories and the export sales were going well and the Manta Ray designed by Dennis and Peter Adams’ nephew Leigh, (a tastefully restyled Mantara) was unveiled in 1998.
		Marsh is a Maverick, (a title he relishes in) in the true sense of the word.

	Mini Jem Madness
		In 1969, the Mini Jem project was sold to Robin Statham, who improved the body in detail and started to market assembled "turn-key" cars as well as better appointed, painted and trimmed, body shells that only needed a set of running gear to be road-worthy.
		Don Ernst raced this Mini Jem (nicknamed the Turtle) in its BRG livery between 1986 and 1989, when he pulled it out of competition for a complete re-work.
		Don's Mini Jem has taken its class at Palm Springs, San Diego and won the Index of Performance award for Sports and GT cars under 3-litres as well at The La Carrera Classic in 1988.

		Incidentally in spite of the cars' small dimensions it is quite easy for Jem Marsh of Speedex to slip behind the wheel and he is 6 ft. 3 in., although perhaps anyone taller than this would not be able to get in at all.
		I must also make it clear that my car is not BNN 369 used by Jem Marsh to win the Goodacre Trophy in 1959 by way of five first places, one second and one fourth.
		In the Marsh car an identical box coupled with the 5.125:1 rear axle produced 15 m.p.h per thousand revs and consistent revving to 6000 r.p.m.

	Le Mans Mini Marcos 1966
		Jem Marsh was keen to get a Le Mans entry, as he had not had an 'invitation'.
		Jem agreed to allocate the distribution rights for France if a Le Mans entry was forthcoming, and we formed a Limited Company, Dulles Components Ltd. to market the Mini Marcos on the Continent.
		Jem and I thought that we could not pass up this opportunity in view of the starting money offered, and I have written elsewhere of our, at times hilarious, involvement in that.

		Jem races the ex-Stewart car today in FIA and HSCC races and is always a contender for, at least, class victories.
		The Adams brothers and Jem Marsh realised that to make a good living out of building Marcos cars would require something with a wider appeal than the Xylon, successful though it was as a race car.
		No doubt Jem had harboured this desire for some time, but Dave Lewis, the Thames Valley co-ordinator of the Club Marcos International, must be credited with re-awakening it in the factory and their backer, Computacenter.

	History
		Jem Marsh and the late Frank Costin of Cosworth fame founded Marcos Cars and, by taking the first three letters of their surnames a distinctive company name was born.
		After a 10 year gap and with only a few shillings in his pocket, Jem Marsh was back in business producing sports cars.
		But at the age of 72, Jem Marsh has pulled Marcos back from the ashes to form Marcos Engineering, again in the old Wiltshire factory, and in July 2002 launched the TS250.

		Jem's cars had many various uses, a later special 'Marshtin' DV 7133 being his 'prop' when working as a stunt driver in the 'Hollywood Motor Maniacs and European Motor Rodeo', an unusual name for a group from neither Europe or the USA!
		Jem was an active member of the 750 MC, he had been building his own Austin 7 special and successfully raced it in the 750 MC Formula, winning the 'Goodacre' Championship at the end of 1959.
		For the 1960 racing season and onwards the 'Jem Marsh Trophy' was presented to the best turned out car, based on the scrutineer's opinion, that had competed in five or more 750 Formula races encouraging quality and presentation.

		Jem Marsh himself would take to the wheel, with Chris Lawrence as his co-driver.
		But problems started even before practice, as there was one serious problems of getting the car through scrutineering, as Jem Marsh recalls.

		The plan was that Jem Marsh should manage, and we design and develop, the XP; that was the car that Marcos were going to put into production.' For a time the outfit operated from yet more makeshift premises -a workshop next door to Paddy Gaston's in Kingston.
		It was actually after the Adamses had left Marcos that they did the Mantis for Jem Marsh, the original design for which -as photos of the model show- was uncannily like Bertone's Carabo that came two years later.
		Marsh offered the Adamses the design and styling work on a new Marcos, another gull-wing car.

		Also designed by Dennis, the XP was a tremendously exciting project and was to compete in the Group Six 3-litre GT class of the FIA Constructors' Championship.
		However, although Jem calls it, 'one of the most exciting experiences of my life!' it was not a comfortable one.
		After its return from Spa, the expensive Repco engine was replaced with a Buick V8 and Jem took to using the car on the main roads, which must have caused some consternation among other drivers.

		Founded back in 1959 by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin (it could have equally been called Cosmar), the first cars were race cars too.
		Frank Costin had worked in the aeroplane business and his influence can be seen in the fact that the cars employed a wooden structure, an idea drawn from his work on Mosquito figher-bombers.
		Jem Marsh stayed involved with the cars and managed to regain the rights to the Marcos name in 1976 but it wasn't until 1981 that Marcos was relaunched.

		Orchids are basically a hobby to Dr. Marsh and he is able to take advantage of the sterile hood and autoclaves at the lab for flasking and cloning.
		Dr Marsh began growing orchids as a teen in the mid 50's in Winchester, Kentucky, and was extremely fortunate to have Blue Grass Orchids run by Craig Foster nearby, and a sage mentor, Katherine Stewart, who laid the foundation of his orchid knowledge.
		Five generations of barkeria hybrids and a number of registered crosses later, Dr Marsh has again expanded his interests to include Texas native plants and considers them to be the perfect foil for orchids in arrangements.
