SV: [MarcosManiacs] Restoring 1600 GT

2003-01-31 by Jan M Larsen

Hi Mike
Don't worry, take your time, I am building house and new garage at the moment so I know how it is, - I guess my racing
in the Marcos this year will be on a lower level, but I can't stay away from the track. Some racing is better than no racing.
Though I still hope to ;report a little from the races now and then.

Hi Jan,
I'm afraid I am the person that hasn't corrected the owners name on the Marcos web site. I took over the Marcos Maniacs web site from Jeff Caraway about the same time as I moved into a new house and haven't done much with it as a result. (The web site is now at www.marcosmaniacs.com which is one thing I did do) I am keeping a list of the updates I need to do and will add this one to the list.

Hi Paul
I got a friend who have a 1967 1600 GT. I can take some pictures of the inside of the doors and mail them if
you are interested? (It's the # 5183 car on the Maniac homepage, - maybe it should be corrected some day, -
it's now owned by Niels Christoffersen, Denmark)

P.S. Talking about heights? I am 190 cm ( = 6'4" ?) so when racing classics I am sitting with my crash helmet
touching the roof, even the pedals are at max + and the steering wheel is small, - and then watch me crawling
in and out... but imagine my smile when I am in the seat...

Hi Paul,

I'd speak to Rory McMath at Marcos Heritage if you can't get the information
elsewhere. Rory has been around since the very early cars, so he probably
knows the information off the top of his head. He may even be able to supply
what you need though his prices tend to be a bit steep.

Regards,

I am in the process of restoring my '68 1600 GT and whereas I can at
least attempt most of the tasks, I am stumped by the structure and
replacement of the internal workings of the pull down windows. Mine
have rotted completely and I wondered if anybody had either
drawings, information or could advise a supplier of this structure?
Has it been purloined from another car or was it a Marcos-Own
produced item??
Any help gratefully received
