Phil,
I beleive the owner is Mr Dagama. I talked to him a couple years ago but he 
wasn't interested in selling it then.
Regards,
Larry

I'll throw my hat in the ring as well Larry!! - I noticed your thread when you 
mentioned this car a few months ago and never got around to asking you check it 
out. My interest stems from the fact that I am involved in keeping a register of 
early cars with a few other guys like Per haegermark/Maarten krikken so I would 
be interested to know if it is an 1800GT which I suspect it might be. I believe 
you mentioned that it was a1966 wooden car set up for racing Larry and I am 
wondering if it could be 4099 which belonged to a Mr Dagama in florida?. If 
anybody does purchase or obtain photos and details for the car I would be 
delighted to be informed so that I can update the register accordingly.

Does anybody know contact details for Gary madsen and Steve frey as we have no 
details for Steves car and Gary's details are in conflict with another car so it 
would be great to speak to these guys.

Thanks,
            Phil Smethurst (philipbusiness@...)

p.s ...John - it would be great to see a post of 1002 and where she is upto. It 
will definately be fantastic to get a xylon back in the UK. Jems old stewart car 
is stashed somewhere in the netherlands and the only other car is in Japan under 
lock and key so it will be nice to see one back out and accessible for people to 
see and enjoy.

Hello Larry,
 
Send me some photos of your Vet’s barn.  And photos of the Marcos, I could be 
interested.
 
I am coming to Florida in April or May next year and so we can meet up again.
 
I will let you know the exact dates nearer the time.
 
We certainly seem to have stirred up some interest here
 
Best wishes,
 
John

Good day John and Dave,
There is a racing version here in Wimauma, Fl. that is in a barn. The owner 
lives in West Palm, I beleive, but the car is, I think, a wood chassis. I will 
be glad to scope it out if you are interested. The barn belongs to our vet.
 
Regards,
Larry

Dave P,
 
As it happens I have a Marcos in California , but it is a basket case.  However 
I also have a place in Florida and two friends in Tampa with Marcos.
However it may be worth noting that the early wooden chassis cars cannot, 
apparently, be registered in the USA , or certainly not in California . 

 
I am based in London but let me have your address and phone number and I can 
contact you when I am next in Florida in about May.
 
Also we have a 1 hour video on DVD of the Marcos 50th anniversary which includes 
a long interview with Jem Marsh about the history of Marcos.
If you would like one they are £10 + postage
 
Good luck with your search.
 
John Sutton

Redline www.redlinesportscars.com/marcoscars.php is a good place to start on 
what prices are.  Good luck, importing these cars is not impossible but it is 
very hard and not cheap!
Thanks

Okay.........I have watched most Marcos videos on youtube and everywhere 
else.....so I think everyone needs to upload some more to this site or 
youtube.........just my selfish request to satisfy my lunch hour at work where I 
suppose I should be more productive
