1973 Merlyn Mk24 Formula Ford

Serial Number: yes Frame Number: yes Gearbox Number: yes Logbooks: FIA Condition: Concours, Excellent Price: $13,000 USD Location: Sweden
Description This car was completely restored in 1997 and has not turned a wheel since the restoration. The restoration was comprehensive. New bodywork fitted, the gearbox completely rebuilt, and a Minister 1600 Kent installed. A former National Championship winner, this is a prime example of the very effective Merlyn design, probably the nicest in existence!
