Marcos Maniacs

Hi John:

Yes I really like the format and enjoy reading about
unusual cars and the restoration of them.


I live in San Diego California.

I used to make fun of people who drove british cars.
My folks are Scottish but

I grew up with Porsche and Volkswagons.
Later Audi's.

A few years ago I met a car guy that had Jaguars.
He did not like German cars so we decided to trade cars one weekend.
He got my Audi S4 and I drove his mint XK 140.
He really liked the Audi and I had to eat my words about british cars.
The xk 140 was just a very fun car to drive. People waved and honked.
I really got kick out the experience.

Anyway today I have:
1974 TVR 2500 M
1986 TVR V8 Wedge
1965 Mini Marcos Project

2007 Lotus Super 7 Kit Yamaha Bike Engine

2002 Ginetta G20

They are very fun cars to own and drive.

Best Regards
Robin Gilmour
