Marcos Maniacs

Hi Dave,
Glad to have you with us!!!
I assume you are commenting here on the car I have in the "Mystery
Marcos Restoration" section on my site?
These are great observations that I certainly wouldn't have picked up
on.
Don passed me those pictures a while back, and unfortunately, neither of
us knows much about that car. But, I thought they were well worth
putting on the site and hope someone that knows, or even owns the car,
may someday come forward.
 
Best regards,
Jeff Caraway

Hi Jeff,
 
I'm new to the Marcos Maniacs, but no so new to the Marcos, having owned
mine a 1967 1600 wooden chassis since 1981. That's 21 years ago!!!!
Where does time go?
 
This 1800 is an interesting and desirable car being an 1800, the
pictures are not that detailed, but from what I can tell from the rear
wheel arch's this could be a very early car, later models including 1500
and 1600 all have small wheel arch's. The very early 1800 did not. 
 
Unfortunately, there appears to be a few thing wrong. The bonnet, as we
call it here in the UK, is not original.
The 1800 should have a short bonnet, this is the long bonnet from the
later 3.0 cars less the power bulge. But does appear to have the correct
shorter head light covers with the result that the covers don't appear
to be fitted correctly. There is something also strange about the front
bumbers, but this might just be the effect of the longer bonnet.
 
But then with Marcos's what's original anyway.....It's still a nice
looking car, and if it were in the UK I'd like it.

PS I'm the guy that Don referred to some time back as having visited the
XP. I'll pass on the URL of my web site with details. Dave

Could that be the De-Dion car in your restoration photos? Hmmmm......

Hi folks,

I just went back and checked the ad.  Recognized the dealer name and 
damn, it's only 3 hours away in my old hometown of Pleasanton, CA.  
Used to hang out at the place.  Guess my weekend plans are set!!  If 
anyone has specific questions about the car, catch me before Saturday.

And yes..........it was a really slow day at work!!!!  Lots of time 
to surf.
