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.
