Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the feedback, all but the FLY scale models, and some of the Mini Marcos kits (Not all of which are on the site yet) are about the only models still in production. So, where does it all come from, Auctions, Auto Jumbles and Antique Toy and Collector Fares. You would be amazed at what you find.

I do not know of any 1/18 scale models, which has always amazed me when you see what is about for other makes of cars. One day perhaps.

As for the XP Fans, I think they are just that, but powered by 12v Smiths motors. Just as you find in the later 'snail' type fresh air blowers.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the links!

I had run across your model site when first investigating Marcos (before I got my car), but had since lost the link.

Being a model collector myself, I love having your site as a reference and will certainly put links to it on the Maniac\u2019s site.

BTW, where on earth did you find some of that stuff? I\u2019d love to get my hands on some of them like the Provence kits.

Do you know if anyone ever made any 1:18th scale Marcos cars? (That\u2019s my scale of preference)

Regarding the XP site. Great job!!!!! I love it!

You are one lucky guy! Not only do you have a beautiful Marcos of your own, but you got to see the most elusive Marcos first hand. And got to ride in it too!!! That\u2019s great!

I\u2019ll certainly put a link to this site on the Maniac\u2019s site as well and would like to thank you for sharing that with all of us.

BTW, those cooling fans that were added to the XP look like old desk-top plug-in type fans. Is that what they were?

Best Regards,

Jeff Caraway

Hi Jeff,

I've only been looking in on the Marcos Maniacs for a few week, this Group
and your web site are first class, keep up the work. It's great to see how
strong the group is especially, in the US.

I know have two Marcos related web sites. My first....

http://www.1600gt.freeserve.co.uk/

was set up a year or so ago in an attempt to catalogue all of the various
scale models of the range of Marcos cars. And is being updated on a regular
basis as I find more that I have missed, or when FLY the slot car
manufacturer releases a new car.

But my second site, which is the purpose of this notice, that tells the
story of the Marcos XP and my visit to see the car some years back.
Something I'll never forget!

Anyway, as promised here is the URL for that web site on the Marcos XP. Hope
you and the others enjoy it.........

http://www.1600gt.freeserve.co.uk/Mantis/Home.htm

I've kept the graphics high quality and so over a modem, it's not the
fastest loading site.
But its worth it!!

Cheers,
Dave.
