    "their Marcos sports cars" - the cars are Mini Marcos sportscars.

    Also visible, in the background between 0:17 and 0:20, is a Marcos 3-litre.

    Looks like they were peering at the engine of a Lotus 23, not the Mini Marcos!
    One of them was driving a Marcos coupé round near the end.
    There seems to be a 50-50 split over which one was Jackie and which was Jacqui.
