the conversion and it is not pretty! It also appears that the body
panel fit is poor. The car has been covered or stored inside Hayes'
shop but needs a lot of work to make right. He does have the top
and glass to make it a coupe. He does sell many quality British
cars, mostly race cars of which he is a great source. His cars are
usually fairly priced and usually not negotiable. Take a look at
www.wirewheel.com for a look at his stock.

while bidding was on, but never received a reply, so I wonder how
serious the seller was.

it is very worthy of putting in a show.

Dave,
The convertible Marcos that ended last week WAS NOT
the one Hayes has for sale. This is ANOTHER one! Hayes's is yellow and your
description applies to his and I have personally seen it several times. The one
that recently ended on eBay looks to be dark (BRG) green with a tan or beige
interior. Pull up the item on eBay (#260363180252) and check out the car before
stating that is the one you were thinking Hayes has. That's why I supplied
the item number.
There are several more Marcos cars hiding in the
woodwork of south/central Florida than meets the eye. I was not that
suprised to hear of ANOTHER convertible down here. I have heard stories of
the green convertible in Miami for the past several years, as well as at least
two more coupes on the gulf coast of Florida, not including Larry's and Ron's
two cars.
