Qualifier to own one is a good relationship with the Orkin Man.

There are some websites......also try the Volvo "brick" site.

Yep, I'm here. I run the North American Marcos Registry and also the Yahoo Groups Marcosmaniacs forum. There are about 80 Marcos in North America that I'm aware of. More pop up occasionally. They used wood monocoque frames until 1969 when they switched to tube steel frames. Nothing newer than 1985 has made it over here until now. Marcos now has an office in Santa Monica.

Best Link for info.

My 1971 Marcos can be seen in the "Member's Cars" section under Other British.

More questions? I'd be glad to answer.

I just checked out the price list for the new marcos. Starts at 49k and has about 5-10k in options. Im pretty sure thats in pounds as well. 60k quid would be like 120+k here. : (. I wish I could find one here that is in some old ladys garage.

Keep your eyes open, you never know what will come up! I saw one down here rolled out of a storage bay right after one of our hurricanes. It could have been picked up for a bargain. Unfortunately someone had chopped the top off to try and make it a convertible! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

How much can you afford? There are usually 2 or 3 on Ebay each year. Prices start at $20+K and go down from there. I know of a really nice one for $22K.

Sold for $9200. Problem is that they didn't make convertibles(spyders) until much later with the 1986 Mantula. So that was a chop job.
