>Wow... finally got around to cleaning up many of the boxes of car parts
>in my new garage and found a ton of the original parts off my Mark II.
>This car is being restored for me by Todd Baumgartner of Vacaville, CA.
>He has never restored one but with some guidance from gurus like Norm
>Miller, Tom Hall and others he is building me another beauty.Todd has
>restored several other Ford products for me and he is unusually good at
>it as is his Father, Gil Baumgartner (Gil has my Miles prototype car for
>restoration). When I bought the Mark II in Memphis (from original owner)
>he gave me boxes of goodies that I had frankly not looked at as we were
>in transit (between homes) and all of my cars and parts were in storage.
>Found the orginal carb, water pump, lots of trunk parts, extra
>(original) gas tank and numerous crusty old hoses but with original
>clamps on them. Xmas in March.... Sorry, none of it is for sale.
>Hopefully this Makr II will be ready to be driven and shown at Eureka
>even though my Miles protype car will not. As a result of Mike Wood's
>article on that car I received two pictures of the car from Terry
>Taylor. Pictures show the car with its original owner. Also got a call
>from a guy who used to work on the car when it was at the British car
>dealers showroom initially.
