A Boys Dream

[highflyer]

I live down a long country lane and used to get dropped off at the end of the lane by the school bus, and walk the mile home, it was winter and very dark when I heard this thunderous roar comming up behind me and the headlights lit up the road in front of me, as I turned around I saw the very low headlights, and as the bonnet drew up along side me, I thought it wasnt going to end, the car stopped and the electric window zipped down and as I peered in it was like a jet pilots instrument panel all lit up, my neighbour leaned across the wide transmittion tunnel and said (do you want a lift Russ)BOY DO I. I opened the door and fell into the seat that kinda wrapped around you,(What is it) ? (A Marcos 3ltr) came the reply we drove the short distance home, and I was in total awe. He dropped me off at the beginning of his drive which was about 500 yards long I thanked him and just watched as he drove up the drive home admiring the beautiful rear end shaped by the lights. I was hooked, I worked after school, weekends, that was going to be my 1st car, A Marcos, parents thought I was mad, but that was my dream car. MORE TO FOLLOW, got to go to work now to pay for the petrol for my new toy.

my dream car too Iwas 17 yrs old had just sold my M G Midget and was looking for somethink special.There was a Marcos 1600GT in the paper for sale so i got my brother to take me to see it, was not sure what it was till i got there. but when i did i just had to have it the guy had the bonnet up and could not start it.i raced back home to get the money not even botherd that it would not start, that journey took for ever.when we got back he had got it started and took me down the road what a car.Reg SRO 2D if any one still has it on the road!!!!.
I joined the Marcos club and was at that time there youngest member as wrote about in there mag which i still have along with many others from the 70ts.And it was in red with wire wheels What a girl puller" what times".

Just checked the RAC database and SRO 2D is still around but now shes white.
I don't know who ownes her though...I could ask on the marcos forum if you really want to know.
