Marcos Maniacs

Just thought I'd drop by and say hello to all the Maniacs I know.

I've been very remiss in updating the website, but it's had an update 
now - Thanks to Gary Harman for lots of the pictures.

I trust all those of you who I know personally are well and enjoying 
your Marcoses more than I do - I really MUST get mine back on the road.

Cheers.

Mark

Hey guys,
               #5284 is for sale on e-bay 1969 wood. As I was looking at the 
pics. the doors have the handles where you can slip your hand in {poor 
description} on my 69 I have different doors at the handle when did they change the 
designe? I like the old style better, looks a little more spoty then a chrome 
thumb button. The e-bay car is in New York Don do you have a record of this 
chasis?

Hal #5353

Nope, it's new to me!  I'll add it to the registry.  If anyone knows 
the seller or bids on the car, please let me know the outcome.  I'd 
like to know where it ends up.  THanks!

Hey guys 
              I was looking at the pics. of the car on e-bay and it appears 
that he has smaller tires on the rear and bigger on the front is that just an 
optical allusion? Also his side view mirrors are much more forward than my 69 
where is the proper position? Where mine are I have terrible sight lines and 
was wondering how everyone else has theirs set up?

Hi Hal,
    I have mounted my mirrors on the front of the doors just below the 
window. This might not work for a street car as I have no windows. The best 
location I have seen is high on the Windscreen pillar about two thirds the 
way up.

I will see what mirrors I can get. Mine are off my Formula Atlantic and work 
well.

That car sold for $12100 USD !!  Unreal.  It wasn't even driveable 
and the windows were cracked and the paint bubbled.

Any body want to give me $22K USD for mine??  Drive it home!
