My Marcos #5916 a 1971 was registered in Arizona for many years, and it when
through the state DMV inspection centers with out a problem.  The 1982 year
may be your problem, several of the kit cars in California are being built
with older engines to get them titled pre California year requirements for
emissions testing.

I don't think there are any other numbers on the car.  The federal safety is
a bigger problem than the emissions (the car is just too low for bumpers and
cash zones) to be redesigned into the car.  I would look into the custom
build class (hot rods etc.).

Good Luck!

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Serial numbers, where are they?

 

Motor Vehicle is inspecting my car tomorrow for serial numbers, I know 
there is one on the passenge side foot box, but are there any others? 
The inspector told me that the number on the foot box was a chassis 
number not the VIN! I told him that is what there is. And in the UK 
that means car serial number. So tomorrow I go back for another level 
of inspection. My car is number 8001, 1982 of course, a tube chassis 
car. Where can I find a number if at all? I am in the USA, Arizona. 
Oh, he also told me, looks like a gray market car (no kidding) and I 
might have to find a company to bring it up to federal safety and 
emissions specs. I told him, it was legal in Ohio and Georgia, and 
the car was brought from the UK in parts (a kit car, I know a bad word 
to Marcos owners) the reply was, that doesn't make it legal in 
Arizona, I was nice, no argument or reasoning, I go back tomorrow. 
Where are the serials numbers? Any one been through this before?
Thanks for the help, Steve Vukobratovich
