Merlyn

GB, 1961 to date

Colchester Racing Developments Ltd, Little Bentley, Colchester, Essex

After starting with Formula Junior machines, Merlyn cars soon changed to rear engines, and thereafter progressed to Formulas 2 and 3. Both sales and racing successes were achieved with the tubular space-framed single-seater Merlyn cars, clad in attractive fiberglass bodies. Chris Irwin, in particular, scored several notable wins in Formula 3. From 1962 onwards a sports model Merlyn car was also available. Production centred on Formula 3 Merlyn cars for a season of two. Then for 1968 the Merlyn Mark 11 Formula Ford appeared, and was immediately successful. Tim Schenken took the major British championships in this and the following year. The Merlyn Mark 12 was a Formula 2 car, Merlyn Mark 14 another Formula 3 design, Mark 15 the Formula B counterpart, and Mark 16 was allocated to the Formula F100 Merlyn carmodel produced for 1970. The 1970 Formula Ford car was the Merlyn Mark 17, which assumed the Mark 11’s mantle by taking the British titles in the hands of Colin Vandervell.

Less was heard of the Formula 3, Group 6 sports-Merlyn car racing and Formula B machines that took the next three Mark numbers of Merlyn cars. For 1971 the Mark 20 was revised as the new Formula Ford car and this Merlyn car continued as the car to beat in the class; Bernard Vermilio took the B.O.C. Championship. Leading drivers of Merlyn cars during 1972 included Tim and Tony Brise, Roger Arnott, Rob Cooper and Dave Ferris. Mark 21 was the Formula 3 Merlyn car raced for the works by Ian Scheckter, Mark 22 an oval-track midget racer, and Mark 23 a revised Formula B or 3 machine. The continuing success of the Formula Ford cars enabled a steady production level of Merlyn cars to be maintained, and an improved Merlyn carl was planned for 1973. This was the Mark 24, with entirely new body and chassis.
