The windshield is shared with a Lancia Stratos. The windshields are still available in the UK. The box and the shipping will cost 2X the cost of the windshield.

Thanks mike , i think that is not good news however its a start...yes I have at one time paid close to 400 for a box that a lotus twin cam was shipped in....if I remember its soo expensive because the wood comes from germany sans any bugs etal....then the exchange rate then the shipping.  If I remember the Stratos is being build in kit form in the UK...maybe they are building plastic air craft quality replacements....stay tuned and thanks  brad b

Hi Brad,

 

Well, at least now there are two of us Marcos owners in the DFW metroplex.  And it sounds as if neither one of us have ours in roadworthy condition yet.  Mine’s a yellow ’69 plywood chassis V6 Essex (#3-5366).
