Hello Don,

in Germany there is a man with name "Max Memminger" he restored one 
these cars and there is a detailled story of the restauration in the 
german newspaper "Oldtimer-Praxis" in March 2002. His car is the No. 
18 built in 1964. It took him a long way to get the car ready and he 
visited Jem Marsh in England to get information on this car. Jem 
Marsh tried very hard to buy this early car for his own. And he told 
Memminger that only 106 Marcos had the Volvo engine and from these 
106 only 33 cars with the DeDion-Rear axle.

So the number of Cars with DeDion is 33 Marcii.

If someone is interested in the newspaper, I can send the article via 
Fax or E-Mail, on the other side, you will find in EBAY allways this 
issue quite cheap.

CF Mantula
