Marcos Maniacs

I just thought I'd pass on that I just sold and delivered my 1984
Marcos SN 8083 to a new owner...  He saw my posting below from this
forum and contacted me, several weeks later the deal was done &
delivery was made.  I had two contacts from this post, one was within
30 miles of my house (looking only, his dad used to build them in the
60's) and the buyer, who owned another Marcos in the past.

On another note, would the Marcos/Sprite owner email me again, I never
  sent you the pix of my Sprite that you wanted, I lost your email
address.  I'll email you the pix when I get your email...

It was a fun car to own but time to move on, interests changed as
stated below...

Good luck to all with your Marcos Cars!
