Hello Bob and everyone
         I think I e-mailed you Bob when I was first looking to buy 
the Marcos from Len Drake . That is great news confirming the 
origionality of the V8 installation . I have made a few compromises 
during the restoration as far as "improving" on the origional.Although
anything that I have changed can be put back to origional if wanted.
      Thanks for the pics I have added them to my album.
         Regards Dave #5577
