Need help with race car history, does anyone know this Marcos guy?

Need help with race car history, does anyone know this Marcos guy?

2006-07-25 by mgcarma

I spoke with one of your members, Mr Bob Magnotti, he mentioned your 
Yahoo group and said that there may be some folks there that can 
help.
 
If any of your members either know of a previous owner of their 
Marcos that lived in Eastern PA and went to hillclimbs or the New 
Hope, PA car show, this is the person I am looking to find.
 
Also, this person may have raced his Marcos GT in those hillclimbs.
 
It is entirely possible that this person also has a Marcos GT and it 
is not finished yet, it could be in the "not finished" stage, as he 
was looking for parts to complete his restoration at the time. (1989-
1991)
 
The email I wish to post on your board is copied below, and please 
feel free to put this correspondence along with it.
 
thanks for any help you can give me.
Cheers
Kevin
 
 
 
I am trying to trace the history of a racecar, and I have a lead to 
go on, and figured that you folks in the Marcos Club might be able 
to help. 
Seems the person I need to find was active in the Eastern PA 
hillclimbs in the 80's. Either he attended, or competed, I do not 
know. 
The thing that makes him stand out is that he either owned or 
campaigned a Marcos GT. Not a very common car, but that is all I 
have to go on. 
This person had once owned the racecar I am researching, and it 
would mean a great deal to me to speak with him.
He lives in the Eastern PA area and was asking a friend of mine 
about MARCOS parts for his Marcos GT. He took down his name and 
number at a car show in New Hope, PA and has since lost it.
Any help is much appreciated, and please feel free to email me at: 
mg.carma@... 
thanks so much 
cheers

Kevin,

It looks like you found the link to the Marcos Group
here in the States.  I am aware of a red Marcos in the
Northern VA area.  I believe the owners name is Dan
Duvall.  Might find history of that car from a garage
in Northern VA called MotorHead, the garage  owners
name is Jeff.  I know he provided mechanical repairs
and parts to the car owner.  Don't know if this is the
Marcos you are looking for, I believe it is a steel
frame.
