Brian's Merlin
My kit was supplied by Paris Cars for £3,500 in February 1991. I started the build that month with the help from my family.
In September, 1992, after 450 hours, (My Time) the car was M.O.T'd. and registered for the road. Cost at this point £8,000 (and still spending).
The car is based on a Ford Cortina Mk 4/5; all parts being cleaned, refurbished and painted before fitting.
The power comes from a 2000cc Pinto engine re-built and fitted with a rally cam and 40mm twin choke carburettor mounted on a split plenum, delivering 135b.h.p. at the rear wheels giving a top speed of 95m.p.h. (rolling road).
To stop, the car is fitted with 9inch 16-groove discs on the front, 9inch drums on the rear, with assistance from a remote servo unit.
