Lovely! 1800 as in Volvo P1800 isn't it..?

One of the cars I saw at Wroxhall Abbey last week has a Lotus twin cam in and I heard talk of someone putting an Alfa V6 in his car.



I've got my eye on a couple of late build steel chassied 3 litre GTs at the moment, just waiting for an insurance payout to get things moving.

Not driven one yet but hope to soon. Tried a few on 'for size' thanks to some kind owners who have let me sit in their cars and the pedal box moves back just far enough for me to get comfortable.

A few more Marcos bits 'n' bobs...













The owner of this one had a couple of models made by a friend, I asked him if the wooden chassis flexes at all under stress and he said no, if anything it's stronger than the later steel chassis...
