Many years back there was a crated merlin engine in the possession
of a local shop. Big plans were in evidence but I don't think
anything came of them. I do recall seeing pictures of an Opel GT
modded to accept a merlin. Couldn't find those pics but include the
following for your entertainment.
Cheers
