TVRs are awesome ... home made engines, no extra crap (no sound insulation, no abs, no traction control, no power steering no nothing! lol) super lightweight. Just sweet cars.
I like the first one better ... but the good ol Cerbera is great...

Anyone heard of Marcos lately? Been a while since I have seen nothing from them .......

I must say I have to disagree that these are really great motors. Although they've got significantly better over recent years, they have a long history of unreliability, and some dodgy build quality. The road from the UK to Le Mans every year would be scattered with many wounded TVRs just trying to make a 3-500 mile drive. My brother in the UK just off'ed his Cerbera for this reason. I must admit it was brutally fast from a *****-out Bhp to weight standpoint, but certainly wasn't inspiring from a handling point of view.

FYI they're made in Blackpool, England - not Scottland.
