Larry,

 

Marcos Heritage can supply a glass rear window, but I guess the postage &
packing are high,

Good day, John,

 

I am looking for a glass one to use as a plug to make a new mold. I restored
a 1971 Marcos that had a glass rear screen that fit very well and the plexi
ones I made fit the '80 series cars that imported as kit cars. I think that
all the Volvo powered cars had glass  for the U.S imports because of DOT
regulations requiring tempered glass in vehicles for road use.

My car had been totaled when I bought it an the roof, front and rear screens
were missing, so I made Plexi for both out of necessity at the time. I later
purchased the glass front, but still use the plexi rear.

Best regards,

Larry

Larry,

 

I have a glass Marcos rear window, however the problem is that it does not
fit the aperture on the early cars as quality control was poor.

Both the glass and Perspex windows are available in the UK .

 

I ended up having to fit a Perspex one in my car.

 

John

Give us a price.

I would like to have one as a pattern for a mold to make the perplex rear
screens. I had a glass one in the early 70's that is in a car in Michigan,
but lost the mold in a move and haven't been able to get in touch with the
owner af the car.

regards,

Larry

I have, perhaps, the only real glass, rear window for a Marcos in the USA .
I bought the rear window from the Marcos club in the UK . I don't know if
they are still selling/making them or not. I was told that the glass windows
were expensive because the sharp curvature on the ends resulted in a large
number of these rear screens being broke during the manufacture. Regardless,
I have a glass rear window on my 1966 Marcos 1800 GT that I am thinking
about selling. I was told that this rear window fit all of the Marcos cars
from 1963 up through the 1970's and perhaps beyond. I am going to make my
Marcos into a vintage race car and I am going back to a plexiglass rear
window to reduce the weight. Email me at mikedenman@sbcgloba l.net
