Marcos Maniacs

Hi John

   Thank you for the link, this is basicly what I was looking for. I 
have an interest in the late 50's and early 60's british builders 
that started to produce road cars to support there racing habits. I 
do not own a Marcos but have several other marques. Currently I have 
a few to many projects but I hope to get some of them back together. 
My TVR Grantura is in sad shape but my two Lotus Elites are both 
pretty close to being put back together. 

                  Thanks Again
                     Gary
