Merlyn Mk20AS Historic Formula Ford 1600 – HSCC Eligible

Offered for sale is a Merlyn Mk20AS Formula Ford 1600, prepared to current HSCC Historic Formula Ford regulations and presented in near-immaculate condition.

I have owned the car since 2011. During my ownership it has been lightly used due to running other cars and has only been raced competitively a handful of times, while being maintained regardless of use.
