For what it's worth to you, or to a prospective buyer, Colchester Racing
Developments, makers of Merlyn cars, are still very much in business,
operating a machining and fabrication business in Little Bentley near
Colchester in England.  I visited them in January to discuss the restoration
of my Merlyn Mk6A.

Clive Hayward now runs the business, but Selwyn (founder and designer of the
cars) is still around, although semi-retired.  They still can provide all
parts for their cars, including the special fabrications, chassis, etc., and
undertake full restorations.  Bodywork from the original molds, and
windshields, etc.  This makes Merlyn one of the better makes to restore, as
you are assured that completion of the car, while possibly not cheap, is
certainly not to be stymied by lack of parts!
