Marcos Maniacs

Hi Ron,

Do they have a picture of your car? It would be obvious, if they had a set
of appraisal photos like the ones I had done last year, that you car isn't a
racing car. You should let them know that Marcos reused the name for a later
model. In fact it should be possible to send them pictures of the two so
they can readily see the difference.

I'm insured through The Personal Insurance company. I deal with them
directly and have done since 1982. I started with them through a group
policy via Bell Canada, and when I left Bell, they continued to provide
coverage. You can call them at (800) 268-2620. 

Good luck,
          Paul

PS   Did you anything from the Triumph Club? I haven't.

Maniacs . . .

I just received a registered letter from my insurance broker, stating that
their underwriter has determined that "the 1970 Marcos is actually a British
racing car and they are unable to renew the policy."  Wow!  And these guys
have been insuring my 'racing car' for the last 7 years.  I don't know
whether they have my car confused with the Mantis XP, or with the 1990's
Mantis.  Anyhow, this should make for some entertaining correspondence this
winter, as I try to explain things to them.  However, it's an insurance
company, so my chances of prevailing are probably between zip and nil.

Canadian Marcos owners: please let me know who you're insured with (broker /
insurance company), as I may be looking for a new insurer.  Thanks.

Regards . . . Ron McLeod
