Re: New Marcos book

2001-09-24 by Paul Weidner

To All
Thats the "book"(softcover) I used to educate myself on the Marcos 
Marque before I bought mine this past Feb.   It is a great resource
with many British articles with their sense of humour.  One of the 
tests said that getting in was like putting a cushion on the floor 
under your dining room table, and trying to sit on it! I also 
recommend it as well. I also own "Marcos The Story of a Great British 
Sportscar"  which I got from Marcos Heritage Spares and it's even 
autographed by Jem Marsh. http://www.marcosheritagespares.com/
or  
www.rory.uk.com/marcos
I recommend that as well.   
Does anyone else have any other books about Marcos?
