Bob,
I know what you are going through. Mine sat as a garage queen for 12 years before I started my third, and final time of 3v5536, in my life time. I spent 7 years on the last restoation. 
Fell free to join us when we do get together, even witout a car, you are still a Marcos owner.

Best Regards, 
Larry

all only makes me wish I could set aside the time to get my Marcos on the 
road.  It arrived 7 years ago with undisclosed wood delamination where the 
front subframe mounts.  I spend day after day working on other peoples' 
classics while mine sit waiting for my attention - and I just barely have the 
time to keep my drivable cars on the road.

be watching all of your posts with envy - and maybe a bit more
