Is it worth saving??

2007-07-23 by Björn-Anders Haverstad

I have just aquired 3M/5447, a 1969 steel bodied V6.
Searching other Marcos owners in Norway, I sent a mail to a guy in 
the west part of our country.

He called me back tonight, offering his steel-chasied, Volvo engined 
3 litre for a unnormal low sum. When he said why, I understood why 
the asking price was so low...

The car went up in flames a couple of years ago, when returning from 
Nurburgring. 
Only the steel chassis, engine and axles incl wheels, remains. Body 
and interior is long gone...

Is this a car worth restoring, or should I let it pass me by?
Is it possible to buy a new body - and if so; at what price?
Is it possible to build a convertilbe of it?
