This car took part in the HSCC Guildford Estates Classic Sports Car Championship race at the Historic Sport Car Club's Spring Historic Race Meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.
The programme of the event says that it's a 1963 Merlyn Mk6A, entered by Schwarz Herbs & Spices and driven in the race by Nick Wheatley. The Colchester Racing Developments list of Merlyn models, though, says that the Mk6A was produced between 1964 and 1966. The Mk6/6A used a variety of engines, chiefly the Lotus-Ford 1.6 litre unit, but the programme doesn't show which engine this car has, merely that the capacity is 1,594cc. Visually the Merlyn Mk6A is very similar to the Lotus 23 and Brabham BT5.
