It seems a number of car builders use the Electric power steering from a Corsa, no idea if it fits a Marcos but good luck.

One is assuming you have a V8 under your bonnet? If so then I'd say the answer is almost certainly NO. If you can find any spare space down there in the
front to put a hydraulic pump and plumb it it, your a better man than me gungadin. Have fun trying.
I never really noticed the need for it, ever at standstill. Regards

Have seen a non-V8 with a power rack, and as my V8 had aircon and that is now removed, I dare say a mechanically pumped power steering is possible on a V8 with
the pump where the aircon compressor used to be. On the other hand an electric pump may do the job.
There's a lot of talk these days about green transport. Well, I am ahead of the game, I already have green transport ... British racing green.
