Merlin Kit Car For Sale

[alanh65]

Hi all ...

 

A mate of mine has put his Merlin up for sale. If I hadn't already got my 'Hoodie' I would buy it off him.

I had to help him start it up about 6 months ago as the ignition switch/steering lock had been broken and the wiring to start the car would not function.

The wiring certainly would need attention and some of the dash is below the standard we would like - but the car used to run extremely well.

 

His advert is below:

 

"Hi Guys,having to sell my Merlin Kit Car. Can't work on it any more! £1000.

Newport Pagnell

Built in 1994 but not by me.

Wiring needs sorting, so a non-runner.

2lt Ford pinto engine

About 3500 on the clock

New canvas hood"

 

The guy had the hood specifically made for the car.

 

Give me a shout if interested and I'll pass you on to him.

If I hadn't got the hood I would buy it as well! Unfortunately no space to store it while I sell the hood.

Bob ... what are you saying??

Surely you are not going to sell your 'hood' ... or was that a statement saying that you would have to sell your 'hood' in order to make space for the 'Merlin Project'?

No, I'm not selling the hood (well not yet). I fancy another project and I like the merlin but would have to make space so the hood would have to go, I haven't got room for 4 cars!

That looks a nice car at first glance.
