Marcos Maniacs

Hi Chaps, I know England is a long way away and the exchange rate is 
poor at the moment, but I guess you guys arn't exactly falling over 
used Marcos every day, so I thought someone might be interested in 
mine?

Due to family reasons I am forced to sell my beloved Marcos. It is 
the last of the 11 Triumph engined cars built in 1971 before the 
factory closed. Only about 7 of these cars still exist, and only 3 or 
4 still have the original engine in.

I won't bore you all with the details, but anyone interested can view 
the car at:-  http://www.asrt76.dsl.pipex.com/

£5,500 buys it plus any shipping costs etc. I feel this is a bargain 
for a rare factory car in this condidtion?

Pleae mail me with any questions.

Many thanks

Andy

Andy,
          I can't seem to pull up pics. of your car. I am trying to locate a 
Marcos for my father in law any idea how much it would cost to get to the 
states? Would it still be importable? I assume it is a right hand drive as well.

Hal,
Remember that Garry does a lot of business in England & ships 
containers of parts AND cars to the states.  I was just in contact 
with him & he is looking at a car for me over there (not a Marcos) --
- he stated that he is filling a container now to ship within the 
next month or so & that there is still room in it.  I was able to 
see a couple of the pix, it's yellow with a black vinyl (I think) 
interior, it has the sunroof & the later perspex light covers w/o 
the exposed seals.

Hal, Thanks for the shipping info.
If you can not view the Marcos TR6 photos, I can try to forward them 
to you as a MS Word file.

Thanks to all for the detailed clearance and shipping ifo.

Hal,

From a features perspective, think of the Triumph 2.5 model as the 3 litre
Volvo model with a different drivetrain. The interior of Andy's car also has
a modified console, containing air vents, electric window switches, etc.

Hi Guys,

The Triumph engined cars are indeed based on 3 ltr Volvo's.
My car is right hand drive, yellow, and has a black vynil interior.
It has only covered 59,000 miles and has an extensive restoration 
file - no pics, but every single bill and reciept for every nut bolt 
and washer. The restoration was done in the mid 80's and has been 
stored most of the time since.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks
Andy

Fellow Marcos Maniacs,

There is a 1968 Marcos 1600GT for sale on eBay.  Car is located in 
California.

Looks like a major project to bring back, but it would be great if someone 
in our group would take on the work.  Here's the Link:

Good Luck!
