 Larry and Donny,  You prompted me and I bought it!!  Remains to be
seen how much work there is to be done, but more than the seller
thinks. Problem is collecting it from Scotland as I am based in
Greenwich, London.  I am not familiar with the 3 litre Ford "Essex"
engine so any advice will be useful.  For example is it possible to
obtain parts for increasiong the performance.  Also reading a
contemporary road test it seems that it eats clutches, so advice on
that would be helpful.  I will run an article on our web magazine
www.motormarques.com to comlement the one I have already posted on the
1960 Marcos.  Best wishes,  John Sutton
