Marcos Maniacs

Hello. I'm a new participant from Mobile, Alabama.

I am searching for a Marcos GT. Any advice or assistance would be 
appreciated. Some background information as to why I want a Marcos is 
explained below.

Visited Stratford-On-Avon Factory in 1969 and was priviledged to take 
first photographs of first proto-type steel-framed Marcos GT. I Was 
politely informed that the new steel frame was secret and was asked 
not to take any more. Lost them, and all of my factory visit photos 
while living in Australia.

I Was taken for an exciting run around the hills (mountains to me) by 
the sales manager of the factory and was so impressed with the way 
that the Marcos went around curves I knew I had to have one. 

Unexpected financial circumstances back home prevented me from 
getting my dream car. Now, in my later years I want that wish to be 
fulfilled.

I Prefer a 1969 version, left hand steering wheel, black, British 
racing green, red or silver exterior; black interior. Can afford no 
more than around $10,000.00 expenditure.

However, I also realize that so few of these cars were made and are 
available, especially here in the U.S., I can't be too picky! Thanks 
for reading and considering.

Welcome aboard!

In the "bookmarks" section you'll find some sites worth looking at.  
Also on the Marcos Maniacs website.  Pickins are kind of slim here in 
the states, but occassionally one pops up.  If you're willing to 
import, Mark Saxby's site has a classified section.  

Couple other folks are looking also.  Good luck and stay tuned!
