Marcos Maniacs

Don,
  You worked it out. My V6 racer is the blue no 3 car( in Victory Lane). The 
Mantaray is the last one built(but never finished) so I am thinking of 
making it a Targa topped car. The one I just picked up is a V6 but a 1982 # 
8001, the first one made when the company restarted. Interestingly I have 
had a lot of interest from the racing community and two people have asked if 
I could find cars for them. If the experience in the UK is anything to go by 
, racing generates interest and increases the value of cars generally. It 
also creates a market for the not perfect car since there are a lot of 
changes you tend to make to go racing. By way of example , in the UK, Marcos 
racers are very successful and a good car can fetch $50,000, yes $50,000, if 
it has a racing pedigree.

Also, I am working to see if we can bring a bunch of Marcos racers to the US 
for a series in the new year. If the success of the MG and Austin Healey 
visits are anything to go by it would increase significantly the Marque 
exposure
   I will go ahead and set up a for sale section on the website in the next 
few weeks. I will also post my racing dates and locations and extend an open 
invitation to other Marcos owners to come to the races.

Seattle is still in the plans but I am spending a lot of time in the uk with 
our company there. Sadly we lost one of our employees in the Bus Bombing on 
July 7th. It was particularly difficult as we only have 30 employees in that 
office and they are a close knit group.
But life goes on.
