ABOUT THIS COMMISSION
Captured at Kinetics Group, the Marcos 1800 was introduced in 1964 and was designed by brothers Dennis and Peter Adams. Featuring a strong, light plywood monocoque and glass fibre bodywork, it was launched with Volvo’s four-cylinder, 1778cc B18 engine and a de Dion rear end, which was later replaced by a Ford axle. The engine produced 114bhp, which was plenty considering that the whole car weighed only 769kg with a half-tank of fuel on board.
Having been superbly restored by Redline Sportscars from 2016-19 and prepared for competition use, this Paddock Speedshop example now meets FIA regulations. The Aston Martin shade of green was chosen in tribute to the works-entered 1800 GT that ran in the 1968 Le Mans 24 Hours, and since being completed the Marcos has been used in events such as the GRRC Spring Start sprint meeting, and at the Gurston Down hillclimb.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Paul Ward has been a professional photographer for over twenty years now and recently won his category at the British Photography Awards 2020. Over the years his work has been published in many books and magazines both in the UK and internationally and his architectural images currently adorn the walls aboard Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2. Paul’s passion for cars started when he bought his first Austin Mini almost 30 years ago and ever since then he has been obsessed with both classic cars and modern supercars, so, as an image-maker, it’s not surprising that automobile photography has become a passion of his too.
