Marcos Parts USA in business.
2003-12-12 by Garry Diver
Hi Everyone,
Finally my container has arrived and I am pleased to say that Rory and
I have reached agreement that MarcosParts USA will be the exclusive stocking
disributor for Marcos parts in the US and Canada.
In setting up the operation I have tried to stock both the most in demand
items plus the difficult to ship ones such as Windscreens. Obviously we
cannot hold every part as the population of Marcos cars in North America is
quite small, but as we ship containers three or four times a year from the
UK we can always handle one off requirements.
By way of background, Marcos Parts USA is part of Chevron Tiga cars which is
based in Jupiter Florida. We design, build and restore Race cars and supply
parts and service for Chevron, Tiga, Lola and now Marcos cars. While the
emphasis is on vintage and historic racing we also restore Lotus and other
British makes.
I am currently restoring a 1969 Marcos 3 ltr. ford for vintage racing and my
partner was a very successful Marcos racer in the 1970's.
This means that we can offer advice and support for performance upgrades and
will offer some of these in addition to the standard Marcos spares. We will
also offer parts not easily sourced in the US and Canada which are not
standard Marcos parts.
I will make a proper parts and price list available in the near future but
the following is the currently available stock.
I cannot finalize the prices until I have the final numbers on shipping and
duty etc., but I am issuing this list as our transporter is making a trip
to the West Coast and back leaving 16th Dec. This means that there is a
chance for delivery at much reduced rates to normal, in time for the
holidays.

We also have an updated complete front Brake Caliper Kit which comes with

Calipers. Best of all it is a bolt on with NO modifications to the supension
or uprights.
also a complete range of uprated supension bushes to improve the handling,
from fast road to race.
Finally as we find improvements from our racing program which can be
translated to road use we will pass on that information for customers.
Last but not least these are the cities we will visit on our road trip.
Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Las Vegas, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle.
So if you are on route we can deliver at a very modest cost.
