Marcos Maniacs

Garry, I checked Rory's web site and he does offer both the plastic badge as well as an enamel one. The enamel one is 70 British pounds (about $128.00) as Don pointed out. Does he stock these and has anyone seen the quality? I may call him tomorrow morning to to inquire about these, as well as where to find my real chassis number. He has confirmed that my car is not #5846. Has anyone found a number on their car other than the build plaque? He suggested looking under the top dash cover for a chalk/crayon number, but no luck. All I am sure of is my car is an early rhd steel-chassied V4 car.

By the way, thanks to those that offered suggestions regarding the badges. I'll follow up on some of the leads.

-Donny

There is a company in England which specialises in reproducing faithful
copies of obsolete badges ( they have done a Marcos badge) for about $250
each. If we could commit to 10 the price would come down to about$200. I
need three, and if enough others are willing to order I would bring them
back with me the end of October.
Let me know

Garry
