You're definitely headed in the right direction - a couple more reductions
and I will be applying the hammer to the piggy bank!

Re: Don's Car Auction

Ron,

At this point it's just a crazy notion but everything has it's 
price!  I think as the new Marcos becomes more well known that the 
prices will rise further.  I'd like to get a newer model (a 
convertible perhaps) but getting it registered in California may be 
tough.

There are some crazy folks out there who pay exorbitant prices for 
rare vehicles.  An 1800 that was restored here in my home town 
brought $28k at an auction back in 1985!  The car is now in the 
Marconi Museum in southern California.

Who knows what might happen...

Most likely a good hard ride in her this weekend will dispel any 
dysfunctional thoughts I have.  You know how that goes!

Re: [MarcosManiacs] Re: Don's Car Auction

OK, you lost me. That means you now have 3 or 4? Your V6 racer (was that on the cover of Victory Lane?), the Mantaray, and another V6 (Cinncinati?). Please explain. Love to have the models and serial #s' for the registry also.
I think a "for sale" section would be great. We really don't have one here in the States. Would bring more folks to your site also.
Still going to Seattle??

Hey Guys,
I just bought the Car that was in Cincinnati( a restoration job) so now
I have three including the Mantaray I just shipped from England. The 3 LTr
was on the cover of Victory Lane magazine and as a result I have had two
people interested in buying cars to Race. Maybe my web site could be used if
anyone wants to sell their car. Any suggestions?

Re: [MarcosManiacs] Re: Don's Car Auction

2005-07-30 by Garry Diver

Don,
  You worked it out. My V6 racer is the blue no 3 car( in Victory Lane). The 
Mantaray is the last one built(but never finished) so I am thinking of 
making it a Targa topped car. The one I just picked up is a V6 but a 1982 # 
8001, the first one made when the company restarted. Interestingly I have 
had a lot of interest from the racing community and two people have asked if 
I could find cars for them. If the experience in the UK is anything to go by 
, racing generates interest and increases the value of cars generally. It 
also creates a market for the not perfect car since there are a lot of 
changes you tend to make to go racing. By way of example , in the UK, Marcos 
racers are very successful and a good car can fetch $50,000, yes $50,000, if 
it has a racing pedigree.

Also, I am working to see if we can bring a bunch of Marcos racers to the US 
for a series in the new year. If the success of the MG and Austin Healey 
visits are anything to go by it would increase significantly the Marque 
exposure
   I will go ahead and set up a for sale section on the website in the next 
few weeks. I will also post my racing dates and locations and extend an open 
invitation to other Marcos owners to come to the races.

Seattle is still in the plans but I am spending a lot of time in the uk with 
our company there. Sadly we lost one of our employees in the Bus Bombing on 
July 7th. It was particularly difficult as we only have 30 employees in that 
office and they are a close knit group.
But life goes on.
