Pre 72 Models Parts Source List
Most owners of earlier (Pre 72 and early V6 80s) Marcos cars are familiar with the sucking of teeth at the Motor Factors when they ask what car the part is for. Well to solve this problem someone at the CMI put together a list of parts and where they originated from.
I've scanned and OCR'd (and then corrected!) this and I'll exchange it for details of your car. If you want a copy E-mail me with the registration no, chassis no and model of your car (replace the A with @ and X with a dot).
