I took the photographs of these two Merlyns at the Historic Sports Car Club's Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992. Merlyn cars were produced by Colchester Racing Developments from 1960 to 1979, mainly for Formula Junior, Formula 3 and Formula Ford racing
This is the 1971 Merlyn Mk20 of John Pearson with a 1.6 litre Ford engine and built for Formula Ford racing. It competed in the HSCC Historic Formula Ford race at this meeting.
This car took part in the HSCC Historic Formula Racing Car Championship race which was open for Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3 and Formula 5000 cars. This Merlyn Mk21 of Alf Skeels competed in the Formula 3 Class and also had a 1.6 litre Ford engine.
Do you have any period pictures of the Merlyn mk4a model?
