I'm hoping to finally start work restoring my 1970 3L volvo powered Marcos GT. The brakes are all shot. I probably need to do a full reco on the front calipers and rear wheel cylinders. What car were these sourced from? Was it a Triumph of some description, like a spitfire? I'm hoping to work out what I need and order the parts in time for Christmas.
There's a few pics of the car here. The previous owner was half way through converting it to Ford V6 power as it is a better option for vintage racing. I don't plan to race it, so I'm tempted to find a good 164 and put it back to original. The original engine got binned by the previous owner when a rod went through the block.

I'd love to get a close look at similar model 3l Ford and volvo powered cars. Anyone in and around Melbourne, Aus, got one I can look at?
