Mike,
I have been hearing about your purchase of the Marcos
from one of your TVR friends, Marshall Moore. I met
Marshall at the 2004 Motor Madness gathering. We have
been taking the Marcos and his TVR to all the shows
here in SW VA. If you are planning on making it to
the show this year please let me know and we can
arrange to have the largest Marcos East Coast
gathering. I also have facilities here to store your
car in a secure garage while you are in town. From the
looks of #8153 you certainly have a great looking
Marcos. AS a PRE_Motor Madness event I am hosting a
gathering of British cars at my company location which
is right on the main drag, in Roanoke, VA. We will
gather and have lunch and then travel to the Show as a
group. Also the program indicates that Phil Hill will
be one of the guests of honor at this years event.
go to: www.starcitymotormadness.com for details
I can understand the step child feeling as I own a 59
Austin Healey Sprite(110hp 5 speed) that at times
takes a back seat to the Marcos. The Marcos is great
for smooth high speed driving where the Sprite is
probably one of the most fun cars to experience the
twistes here on sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Bring your Marcos out and I will show you some of the
most beautify cruising roads in the State.
I know that Marshall is going to the Import Car
Festival in Carlisle and may try to travel with him.
Bob Magnotti
1600 GT #5179
PS I am aware of four Marcos cars here in the State of
Virginia, Yours, mine, one in Northern Virginia and
one in Wythville VA.
