RE: [MarcosManiacs] Shipping Marcos race car from Japan to U.S.

2005-06-05 by john_sutton

An dy,

 

Well done!  I raced with Tim at the Nurburgring 500 km race in 1962.  My
car was the earlier model (ugly duckling).  I have been trying to trace
mine also.  It was last seen advertised in Road and Track in California
in 1972.  It was re-register 80 SNK

 

You are obviously good at tracking these cars down and it is a long shot
but maybe you have come across it.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Shipping Marcos race car from Japan to U.S.

 

Well, I've gone & done it: I (re) purchased my old race car, 1962 Marcos
GT 
"Luton Gullwing" chassis #2006 from its current owner in Japan.  This is
the 
ex-Stephen Minoprio car that won class honors in the 1962 Autosport 
championship.  I owned this car and raced it in Europe from 1994-1997.  
Never should have sold it.  Took me 2 years to track it down.

Now I need to transport it from Japan to the USA West Coast.

I would appreciate any advice regarding a shipping agent or transport 
company to ship # 2006 from Japan to San Francisco (preferred), San
Diego, 
or Long Beach. For safety reasons, I want to ship in a container rather
than 
Roll On-Roll Off (RORO) shipping.

I know its a long shot, but I'd deeply appreciate any leads or
suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Best Regards,
Andy Seward
