Another Marcos in Canada

Another Marcos in Canada

2005-05-12 by pwstevens11

Hello All,

I would like to take this opportunity in introducing myself to the 
group. I have for many years been a Marcos fan and admirer of the cars.

I recently took the plunge and bought a car in England Vin # 3V5808 - 
1971 Volvo - 3L   ( Reg #  GYG 508J ) it has now arrived (today ) and 
has taken up residence in Aurora, Canada. 
Anyone who would like info about  brininging a car over from the UK, 
It's quite the experience!!!! 

Car is in good / excellant condition. Have been in contact with Paul 
Dransfield, who is a neighbour and who has given me alot of advice and 
support. I have a lot to learn in looking after the car, so no doubt 
you will be hearing from me in the future.

Paul

Congratulations Paul! At least you get to drive your new toy. I got mine (#5366) back in December and after discovering some structural issues with the wood chassis, I've pushed it into a corner until I can clear away some other short-term projects before addressing it. I thought it was going to be a matter of replacing/rebuilding the hydraulics and doing some other minor work before I could drive it. But, now it looks like it's going to take at least 6 months for me to get a chance to enjoy it as more than just a beautiful work of art. I'm envious.
-Bob

Hi Paul,

It's nice to hear your car has finally arrived. Congratulations. But do you
think a small town like Aurora is big enough for the two of us? I got used
to having all the attention to myself.

Regards,
        Paul

Welcome Paul,

I'll put your car on the Registry.  Nice to see one coming this way 
rather than being exported to Europe.  Enjoy!!
