I would be concerned that any fire fierce enough to destroy
the body and interior would also have caused significant damage to the metal
parts that remain, including distorting the the chassis out of alignment, and
affecting the strength of the steel.

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?
