Hello Mike and every one.
Many years ago, Dave Rattee organized a run through
Europe,( I don't know if he still owns it, but David did own the Marcos
race car) to Switzerland. We visited France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland,
Luxemburg, Austria and Belgium, not necessarily in that order. We visited the
Schlumph museum, and the Ferrari factory at Modena. In Switzerland we met up
with Marcos people from Switzerland, Holland and Germany. We met a lot of very
nice people, and I think that I could say it was one of the best holidays that I
have ever had. It took three weeks and we travelled over 3000
miles.
From memory I averaged 38 miles to the
gallon.

total milage for the trip from my house in Watsonville, CA was 1,540
miles. Has anyone taken a longer trip in one of the older Marcos
cars? Say pre 1972... Regardless of the length, why don't all the
members post their longest trips. By the way, I made the trip back
in 12 hours and 15 minutes (counting gas stops etc).... averages out
to 62 mph! Bob Moreno was at the show and a Volvo he had restored
won its class as I recall. Bob does nice work and is very talented.
Gary Madson who owns a Marcos 1800GT like mine was also at the
show. Gary's car is a project that he is making into a Vintage race
car.
