Marcos Maniacs

Hi all,

Just a quick pointer to :

http://www.marcos.uk.com

Where you'll find details of the resurected Marcos factory.

Good news.

Cheers,

Mark

Cool!
Sounds like they are selling pre-owned cars though.
Anybody heard anything about any future production of the road-going
cars?
 
I any case.. another save for Marcos!!!

Re future production.

There is progress, but I can't tell you any more at the moment. As 
soon as there's a public announcement, I'll post info on my site.

Cheers,

Mark

Thanks for thinking of us and keeping us posted Mark.  You are 
certainly piquing our interests!  Can't wait!

Hi Tad,
When are you going to buy another Marcos? If you wait till next 
year you will be another year older! Do you get as much 
satisfaction out of your new sportscar?  Are there crowds of people 
around it when you come out of stores?  Do people wave and shout as 
you drive down the street? What are you waiting for? Why drive 
"boring" when you can experience "fantastic"!

Geeze Mike, you have just posted all the reasons why I need to get my 
restoration completed.  I am getting older each year and my Sprite is 
fun, although quite a rough ride.  I need to get the Marcos on the 
ground and enjoy the crowds again!

Hello Mike, Bob et al,

Shame on you! You are all a very bad influence on me.  As it happens, 
an impending move and Wifey's Mini Cooper make the need for my 2+2 
redundant.  It is, therefore, on the market.  I have been considering 
my options for when I arrive at our new destination, and another 
Marcos certainly tops the list.  But insidious comments from 
accomplished enthusiasts such as yourselves do not help my situation 
(they only make the desire for another Marcos more pronounced)!  
Anyway, I'll keep the list posted if a Marcos should happen to come 
my way.

Thanks,
Tad

Hi guys,
Mike's statement 
"Are there crowds of people 
around it when you come out of stores?"
 
kind of got me to thinking.
Do any of you ever worry about your car getting gone while you are
shopping/working/whatever?
 
Jeff

I thought tooling around in my future baby would have brought you back
to the "dark side" again. ;-)
 
Jeff

Jeff,

I dont worry to much about my cars when they are parked in public 
places.  I figure that both my Sprite and soon my Marcos both stand 
out as very different automobiles.  Very easy to spot and both not 
easy to drive considering they are both RHD.  My Sprite uses a 
combination of 4 toggle switches on the dash (no key) plus a push 
button for the starter to get it going.  If you get the toggles wrong 
the car may start but most likely the fuel pump wont be on and the 
car will die soon after.  This car would be easy to spot sitting dead 
in the middle of an intersection. Probably will cause a crowd to 
gather. 

Most people stealing cars want cars that dont stand out.  A Marcos is 
a very distinctive car and not a usual car that ends up in a chop 
shop.  I love taking my cars to places and standing back and watching 
the reactions.

Hi Jeff,
I don't spend a lot of time worring about the Marcos being stolen.  
For the professional thief it has no value since stripping it for 
parts doesn't make sense and it would be hard to sell. For the amateur 
thief (kids who want to take a joy ride) it is perhaps too distinctive 
in that it would draw attention and be immediately spotted after being 
reported stolen.  I do cover mine with a car cover when parking 
outside on trips.  Frankly, I worry more about people backing into it 
than stealing it.  The Marcos is low enough that the average driver 
could miss seeing it in the rear view mirror (assuming they were 
looking) while backing out of a parking space.

Hi Jeff
I don't even lock my Marcos in parking lots. In fact I don't lock my Bentley
or my Jag either. I has to do with your willingness to let things go if need
be.

Mike
	Please don't parallel park your Marcos!  Unless you don't care for
the way it looks!  I made that mistake in 1975 and haven't parallel parked
since!

Hey now, who's gonna steal it when there's always people around it??  
I always left my Jensen-Healey unlocked, windows down, in the hope 
that someone would steal it!  Ten years later I was forced to sell it 
at a major loss.  Don't think that's going to happen with the 
Marcos.  Besides....I can't keep MY eyes off of it for long.

Peace,

Heck - I can't lock my Healey Sprite, it has no door handles or trunk 
lid.  For that matter no top or windows either!  A real sports car.

I don't lock mine either. Being a convertible, locking is irrelevant anyway, as
it is easy to reach in release the locks.
Interestingly, my Martina is fitted with Ford locks. However, because of the way
the linkages were arranged in the Marcos, ie backwards, it turns out that only
my key will lock the car, but any ford key will unlock it !!!!
