Marcos Maniacs

Hello Mr Wright,

I don't know if you got my reply...
I was thrown off the site while just after writing 
and sending it...  Somthing with the server, it said.

So again:
Yes, I would appreciate it very much if you could give me some more information on your car, should you decide to sell.
I would like it best if there could also be a few pictures.
They say much more than words.
In my view, rebuilding the motor isn't too bad. If it still turns, that is.  I have experience with B18s and B20s. So B30 is not very different. 
I think the state of the chassis is more important.
AND it is my experience that a car should be as original as possible. 
That gives the best opportunity for getting things OK again.

So, if you feel like selling after such a long "affair with the car,
please send some more information.
You can send it to " zegellap@...".
Should you have an idea about the price you would like
to get for it, please let me know.

Thank you !

Dirk Van den Zegel
