Just a
quick note to support Mike's comments. I have been a British Car Magaizine
subscriber for several years now. I think it's a great mag. It looks
as though you can subscribe on their web site: http://www.britishcar.com/

Hi Maniacs,
Don has told you about the
Marcos article in the latest issue of British Car Magazine. The article is very
good and so is the magazine. Those in the USA should buy a copy if you
don't subscribe. The magazine has gotten a lot better in the last year and
especially in the last 6 months. They have changed their format, have better
quality, better features and some new writers. If you don't subscribe, you
should consider doing so. In the next week I will be sending the
Marcos Owners Club and the Marcos Club International issues of the
magazine. In addition, I am sending a copy to Jac Myers and Mark
Saxby. If you are in the UK and absolutely have to have your own issue
then email me and I will make arrangements to get you one.
I received the 1981 Marcos
manual that I bought on Ebay. It is 26 pages long and has some interesting data.
It has a diagram, for example, how to re-drill the Cortina axles to fit the
Triumph bolt pattern. I have heard that the Marcos factory re-drilled the
axles but I have never seen a car where it had actually been done. It also
has two wiring diagrams, a list of bolts used, a diagram of the various window
seals used in the door windows, drawings for various brackets, a nice drawing of
the steel chassis (no dimensions). A list of where various parts came from and
how to modify them to work on the Marcos. It also shows how the V6 shifting
lever is modified which explains why it has a "strange" throw. Those of you who
emailed me and wanted a copy I will send them out next week.

Just got the latest British Car Mag and Mark Petrinovich's Marcos is
front and center on the cover, with Mike Denman's in the background.
A six page article with history, specs on the four cars, etc.
Pictures of each cars exterior, interior, and engine compartments.
Excellent write-up with only a few small history errors that only we
would notice!
I think I got my issue early. Normally they come out towards the
middle/end of month.
Mark's computer is down for a few days so he's not getting email at
the moment.
