Hiya Smiglit, if you're in the uk try these people
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260233421380&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016
the phone number is in the add just ring them.
you will probably need around 55amp hr, thats what was fitted to capri v6 so should be big enough for you, but first check size of battery & if it will fit, price of lead has gone throught the roof so batteries are not cheap anymore, if you go to Halfords expect to pay £80+ these deliver next day and are much cheaper
rgds, Martin

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Battery For 1969 2ltrV4

Hello,

I have been restoring MBG55H for what feels like the whole of my life
and have now reached the point where I need to purchase a replacement
battery.
Can anyone advise to where I could purchase the correct battery for a
1969 2LTR V4?
I live in the UK
Having looked around, local retailers have never heard of a Marcos so
they don't know the correct model of battery required.
I have taken the measurements of the original Battery tray on MBG55H
and all modern batteries that I have seen are too large to fit.

Thanks, Mick.
