I am putting together a list of parts required to rebuild my 1962 Luton Gullwings. If you need any parts shipped to the USA I may be able to help. However I am not coming over for 12 months.

Well it seems I'm now looking for a Cortina 1600 711M engine to build.
Of course all the good parts seem to be in the U.K. at double the price.
Got a T9 box to use but that also has an issue as the shifter is too far back.
Chances of finding a good "E" box with overdrive here are slim to impossible.
I did find a set of period correct Shelby "Cobra" 13" mag wheels which are similar to Libra wheels.
Need a list of the correct woods and their locations to repair my chassis.
Will need pics and locations of proper engine mounts too.
Who, if anyone, is importing Marcos parts now without excessive markup?
