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!
