Marcos Maniacs

Hi Gary,

a friend of mine just did start to rebuild a "Marcos Fastback Spyder" 
from scratch. He repaired the fiberglas on the "ex Derek Bell" 
Fastback Spyder, which seems to be the only existing worldwide. As 
John wrote there seem to be no drawings at all. For the new Fastback 
he took from every wood panel a sample so he has now something like 
drawings. As well we checked everything we could get worldwide to 
find pictures from the wooden chassis so this can help. As well we 
could have a close look to in total 7 Marcos Fastback & Gullwing and
have pics from the chassis from the "Gullwing" the "Fastback" 
& "Fastback low noise" and the "Marcos Fastback Tavenor". Just in 
this week began the production of the moulds for the Hardtop and the 
boot. The idea is to have this car on the road this summer. The 
chassis will be made in Mahagoni and will be painted in- and outside 
with clear paint, so that everybody can see the wooden chassis on 
first view.

If you need something special or even a complete Fastback I think we 
can help you.
