Many years ago I owned a 3L Volvo Marcos. I sold it to a then friend of
mine. I did hear that my old one is sitting in a garage somewhere in Surrey
and is in need of restoration. I believe it is still owned by the same
person, but do not know for sure. If you are interested in following this
up all I can offer you is a name and the registration. I have no details of
address or anything else. If this is of interest please let me have your
email address and I will send you what I know.
By the way it was a right hand drive and blue
Regards

Hello Richard,
Thank you for your kind words and help !
I appreciate it very much !
And yes, I do know both these references !
Actually, if you look at the "redlinesportscars" site, the red 1800Gt sold
in August.
And I nearly bought it. It was a matter of hours...
But it went to Greece...
What a pity !
So some patience is required.
And why the Volvo spec for the Marcos ?
I have some 20 years experience with Volvo cars.
Amongst others, I restored this one :

myself.
So, I 'll have to be patient and look around a bit more !
Thank you !

Hello,
I am a new member, just joined the group. I live in Europe (Belgium)
I fancy Marcos cars since 1967... As a small boy I noticed them for the
first time in a comic strip ! When I found out they actually had Volvo
motorisation, I started to REALLY like them. (My parents had a Volvo, so
that really was a good car !)
Now, after all these years, I decided to take action.
Is there maybe a left-hand drive car with Volvo-motorisation for sale ?
Yes, I know the question is a bit "silly": who wants to sell such a car ?
But anyhow, you never know!
If there is some work to be done, that is no problem. I have "some"
experience. On Volvos, that is...
Thank you,
and a good, healthy 2010 to all !

Hi Dirk
I have a 1971 3L Volvo for sale, LHK 57J, in
original tangerine colour.
It will need a respray and some mechanical work to
get it through its MOT.
In the heyday of the MOC rallies, it used to be one
of the best 3L Volvo's, although has deteriorated since then through lack of
use.
I was planning to get the engine running sweetly
and then advertise it on Ebay in the Spring. I have been in the Marcos
Owners Club for 40 years, so it will be quite a wrench.
I also have a full set of MOC club magazines, from
no 1 and a set from Club Marcos International - I will be advertising
those, as there must be very few full sets, and they include a wealth of
material.
If you want to email me privately, I can
suppy further details on the car.
Best wishes
