Dave,

The type of interior door handle used for the Marcos depends on the model.
Some cars have a lever-type interior door handle and some have an embedded
rectangular handle (as I do). The latter are from the MGB and the exterior
push button door and boot knobs are from the MGB as well (the boot lid I
think).

Regards,

Hello Donny,
     
I have a '69' with the 3.5 litre rover in it,I bought it like that so 
most of the "engineering" was done for me , all I did was 
replace what was there for engine and tranny mounts with my own design 
  The engine fits in quite easily ,if your car came with the V4 all 
you are really doing is tacking on 2 more cylinders ,I know it's not 
that simple !!!
   I did put an electric cooling fan on to eliminate the engine driven 
fan for clearance purposes.
  I am at the point of putting my car back together , absolutely 
everything that came off the car was glassbeaded and powder coated.
  If you decide to strip the body for a respray look into soda 
blasting,plastic pellett or walnut shell blasting I had mine done that
way and the result is well worth the cost ( approx $600 cdn)
  If you would like to contact me offlist you can get me at 
   3-d@...
         Cheers Dave #5577 
p.s does anyone know the source of the interior door handles(the door 
release handles not the plastic pull handles) and the exterior door 
handles and boot release(they are both the same I think)
