Hello all,
I am the new owner of Paul's SN 8083 Marcos... and I apologize for the delay in entering the chat room. I was a previous Marcos owner (1970 Marcos GT, Volvo drivetrain, I think the SN was 3570). It needed a full restoration, and after a few years I sold it to a guy near Vancouver, BC. I've always missed it.
"Paul's Marcos" is nice... a strong engine and good brakes, but I will probably update the interior soon. I will be looking for odds and ends... things like the "Marcos" badge that fits on the trunk lid, and ideas to improve the overall appearance.
Sincerely,
Marvin Miller
