In October 1993 Marcos unveiled its new competition car and announced a return to GT racing, including Le Mans. Based on the Mantara, the cars were designated LM400, LM500 and LM600. In order to qualify as a production vehicle, road going cars were also made. Several version of the LM were made such as the LM400 (with a Rover 3.9 litre engine), LM500 (Rover 5 litre) and LM600 (with 6 litre Chevrolet small block V8). Only 30 road going LM cars were ever built and of these only one was a road going LM600.
The original chassis was built in 1995 but never completed. Cor Euser’s Dutch Eurotech team bought the Marcos racing team in 2000, and Euser needed a road-going homologation special to get the required authorisation for his racing LM600 Evos. This chassis was dusted off and new bodywork made to satisfy the officials, although once again the car was never completed.
After sitting around for a decade it was bought by a Marcos enthusiast in 2011 and fully restored – and finally finished. The bulge in the enormously long hood shrouds the 5.7-litre Chevy small block V8; even in racing form drivers said they had to drive looking diagonally out of the car, like in a fighter jet.
The car was recently sold to a private collector and is now with a Lamborghini metallic orange paint job and many other new features. The car is now named "Marcos LM600 EVO".
