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.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Rescuing a 1600 GT for restoration.

Date: Wed, 08 Mar 2006 18:14:45 -0000

Finally gave up and re-registered for this board as Yahoo would not

recognize my old

pass-word.

I recently bought a 1600 GT that is in need of full restoration, despite

the former owner

stating he had spent about $25,000 on it around 1980.

I have no idea where his money went, the car seems to need everything, even

allowing for

it's having sat for the past 25 years I do not see what he got for his

money beyond the

overweight Jap engine.

If I can get it running with the current Mazzzzdaaaaa rotary I will, until

I can complete the

build up of a "warm" Alfa-Romeo 2000 to put in it.

I have to hope the "restorer" who put the Mazda in did not butcher the

chassis to do so.

So I will be scrounging for parts.

The main items I will be looking for are a new windshield, and a set of

wheels to replace

the 8 spoke Minilite's that are on it.

I would rather have the original wheels, or a wire wheel conversion.

I know I will have to go through the brakes completely.

I am hoping the chassis is OK, but expect it to need major work after

sitting outside for so

long in an area with high humidity as it is near open water, it is also an

area that gets lots

of rain every year.

Rumor has it that there is another Marcos owner on this board who has "an

Italian engine"

in his car. I would like more detail on that conversion.
