Description:

The Merlyn Mark 11A, also known as the "Magic Merlyn" was arguably the best of its era. Produced by Colchester Racing Developments in 1968 this Merlyn was campaigned in SCCA and VARA since the 1970's, most recently winning the Palm Springs VARA race in 1997. Although not "restored" it is clean and beautiful in looks, performance and handling. Ready to race! Five year old open trailer included.


History

Produced by Colchester Racing Developments, raced in 70's and 80's in SCCA and in the 90's in the Vintage Auto Racing Association. Won the 1997 Palm Springs VARA GP.
