At the 1998 British Motor show, Marcos launched a new model named the Mantaray. This saw the first major revision to the rear of the car since the GT's launch in 1963! The distinctive drop away tail was changed for a much flatter boot level with the rear window.

Very reminiscent of the TVR Chimera's rear, the Mantaray shape was well received by the motoring press and provided an even larger boot.

The car was made available with all engine options from the 2 litre Rover engine (with and without turbo), through to the 4.6 litre V8 Ford engine used in the Mantis. Initially it was planned to continue to make the old shape available alongside the new Mantaray, on request.

Love those '95 Ford Mondeo tail lights :lol:

No idea why they were popular with so many low volume sports car manufacturers.
