Merlyn MK VI?
Nope, although this was probably intended for a similar league as evidenced by the similar bodywork.

One-off, this.

That threw me. I didn't suspect it was a one-off from a prolific builder of cars. :P

Post by: nicanary on September 25, 2013, 05:14:06 AM: I recognise those houses in the background - we've had another puzzle with a car in that setting, but I can't remember which. It's in the UK, anyway.

That other puzzle was a car being built for NZ clients. Is this car a British car for British use ?

I'd be a bit surprised if they are the same houses because I doubt very much whether this car was ever in the UK, although there is always a chance it might have been. It's not British.
