Marcos Maniacs

Hi There,
  Welcome to Marcos ownership. I have no idea what the previous owner could 
have spent that money on given the condition it is in. I have most of the 
parts you need including a windscreen and a complete set of original wheels. 
What year is the car? I can source most parts for all but the very early pre 
Adams cars and carry most of the parts in stock. Go look at the 
'marcospartsusa' wwebsite and send me an E mail if you want any other parts.

PS I also have a 1981 Marcos with a Ford 2.8 which is complete but needs 
restoration. But that will have to wait till I have finished the Mantaray.
