Hello Andy,
thanks for the explanation. Sorry to hear that you did not get back "your" withe Gullwing. ;You will not remember me, but I saw some races with this car and it is allways great to see Klaus Gullwing on the track. Oldtimer Grand Prix 2004 we met with some Marcos owners and did together with Klaus a lap on the "Nordschleife". You will find some pictures under this link on the german Marcos website. You will also find some pictures the Euregio meeting 2004 & the other cars from Klaus under the event links.
Question concerninng the Mini Marcos: Billy Dulles full name is William Dulles? Is this the car he entered on the Nürburgring 500 km & Monza & Spa in 1966 ? I probably have some pictures of this car in the Nürburging. race. Do you know what Billy " William" Dulles is doing this moment. Gary wrote that he is living in Scottsdale Arizona.
Merry christmas Christian

Hallo Christian,
Danke für die Erklärung. Jetzt verstehe ich. Nein, leider habe ich nicht
das Gullwing in Japan gekauft. Aber ich kaufte das 1966 Mini Marcos Werks
Rennwagen 270DGJ in England. Die Geschichte ist jetzt an diesem Internet
Link:
Sagen Sie bitte "hallo" und "frohe Weihnachten" zu Klaus! Er ist mein Hero.
Fragen Sie ihn nach dem Eifel Klassik Rennen von 1996 und wie er meine
Gullwing Rennunfallbeschädigung auf einer regnerischen Nacht reparierte!
Mit Freundlichen Grüßen,
Andy
