T J Doe, The Marcos windscreen is specific to that car and cannot be sourced from another make. Sorry but you may have to "bight the bullet" John _____

Am looking for windshield in US. Does anyone know if the Marcos windshield is a "Marcos Only" or did it originally come from another vehicle? I know I can order one from England but it's very expensive. Also has anyone researched the possibility of purchasing from the manufacturer of the windshield?

TJ, The windscreen is unique to Marcos and Chevron racing cars. The manufacture will only press glass in lots of 10. Someone on this forum was trying to get up an order a couple years ago, but never could make an order for 10. The only ones available from Rory are the heated ones. If you order a new one, I would suggest a new gasket seal and filler strip as well. This makes it much easier to install. Where are you located? Regards, Larry 3v5536 ________________________________

Mike, The Lancia Stratos windscreen is a different shape to the Marcos and so this is a myth. John _____

Of course, this probably doesn't help you since the Stratus is even more rare than the Marcos. Mike Denman Chassis # 4079 On Nov 21, 2010, at 5:16 AM, Tj Doe wrote: I have a '70 Marcos 3 Ltr Volvo.
