i want a marcos

i want a marcos

2005-09-14 by will

well guys i saw don's marcos at the british car meet here in palo alto 
ca. and something strange happened. i fell in love! damn these cars 
are beautiful.

i am still not sure this is a curse or not. but based on what don said 
these cars sound pretty reliable as long in good running condition. 

my two questions: does anyone have one for sale? are they reliable?

Will,
The only problem I have had in the 33 years I have owned my Volvo powered Marcos is the fiberglass body upkeep. I have redone the body 3 times including this time (which was a total remove, strip and redo all fiberglass parts) and will be my last. I've never had any mechanical problems. It, for me, is a comfortable, good handling road car that always draws a crowd. I am ready to paint the body as soon as we have some cool weather and reassemble the car complete, I hope by Thanksgiving (this year).
