MK IIIb for sale on Ebay

[Mike Dozier]

Hi Johan

Did you see the Mac Maclendon car for sale by Black Horse Garage?
Any idea what the owner paid Mac ?
Wonder what the reserve is.
Nice car.

I know this does not answer your questions exactly, but the car is currently at just under $100,000 on ebay and they would like to double that as a bottom dollar and they are asking $250,000 at the dealership. The car is very nice and can vintage race with a few different organizations at least east of the Mississippi. It has a ZF instead of a Hewland and it has a street motor, but it also has a license plate and AC...

A question for you Lola guys. That eBay add says it's 1500 lbs. Can that be correct? I figure the engine and zf for 600-700 lbs. Knowing what it takes to get a V8 car South of 2000 lbs, I'm struggling a bit with the rest of the car weighing <=800 lbs. Did I misread something?

Best,
Kelly

The T70 MKII (spyder) with small block Ford weighs 1525 dry.
The T70 MKII with small block Chevy weighs 1625 dry and about 2000
wet with driver.
The T70 MK3b coupe weighs 1800 or so without driver.
The car on ebay has AC and weighs about 2100 and the materials are thicker than original,
And that might be a good thing.
