Don,

Mount Vernon, Iowa 52314 If you need anything else just let me know.
I think I will build a photo file over time of my progress but I will look
over the files first.

Are you the Don in Willits, Ca? I would gather not as he was the person that
sent me to this group.

My car was what Rory calls light silver blue which I have found a cross reference to on our side of the pond. It would be lighter and more silver than your blue. So I did a quick look at your photos and see you have a filter on the carb and it fits. Mine had about the same filter but was compressed to fit.

I think the car in Ga. you are referring to was Gary Divers car. It was set up for racing. No interior to speak of and a roll bar. Also had the master cylinder reservoir  in the cockpit on the passengers side.

I think the car that was in Georgia was dark blue.

Gary moved back to the UK. Last Word I had, he was in some bicycle Tour back in '04, I think. He had his cars shipped from Atlanta in '09, if I remember correctly.

(although I had owned 2 1800 models about a year earlier needing full restoration) The gentleman I purchased the car from had a collection of older cars and just handed me the keys to drive a couple of them.  I drove a late 70s Maserati Merak just after driving the Marcos and it felt like I was in my granny's grocery getter compared to the Marcos!  Here is my video I posted of driving the car....please excuse the poor sound quality but you can still hear the beautiful exhaust note..

My car was what Rory calls light silver blue which I have found a cross reference to on our side of the pond. It would be lighter and more silver than your blue. So I did a quick look at your photos and see you have a filter on the carb and it fits. Mine had about the same filter but was compressed to fit.
