Marcos Maniacs

John,
   Congratulations. I think it was you who rang Marcos Heritage about the 
car. I was there when Emily took the call. I can give you chapter and verse 
on the Essex 3 ltr, especially the upgrade options and cost of the same. My 
office is in the City so I am quite close by. I will be in the US this week 
and next but will be back after that.

Garry Diver

PS I race a '69 with a 3 ltr Essex
