Re: [MarcosManiacs] Canada import

2002-12-29 by sveltebat@aol.com

Dear Don and Hal,

I've been trying, on several occasions, to figure out a way to buy these Marcos GT's from Canada and England (such as the one on eBay right now that has an engine in one location and the body/chassis at another location) and have been advised that the cost of restructuring/completing such a car will be far more than purchasing one already assembled.

The advice that I am getting, so far, is "beware" of purchasing a Marcos GT unless it is assembled, completed and ready to drive. I'm told that it will cost far more than purchasing one ready to drive. These sources are coming from those that assemble the cars themselves such as Len up in Canada, Hayes down in Florida and elsewhere.

Perhaps, just perhaps, these guys might be a bit biased but from what I am gathering, thus far, is that unless you know a lot abut mechanics you are well advised to purchase an already completed Marcos GT.

What do you guys think about this advise given to me thus far?

With Best Regards,

Svelte Bat
