Description

Feel the wind in your hair and the road beneath you with the Merlin TF sports kit car, an absolute gem of the 1980s. At its heart is a spirited 2.0-litre Ford Pinto engine, famed for its simplicity and durability. With a cast-iron block and a single overhead cam, this engine delivers a solid 100 horsepower, perfect for zipping around in this cream and brown two-seater convertible.

This car comes with a full history file. It is not just about looks; it is a slice of motoring history built to bring that summer show magic to life every time you hit the road. The Merlin TF sports kit car was built in the early 1980s in Essex by Thoroughbred Cars Ltd., using a Ford Pinto 2.0-litre engine and a steel ladder-frame chassis. It was produced in a limited run of around 300 to 350 units.

It is a two-seater convertible with a retro British roadster vibe, often finished in cream and brown. It is a fantastic classic for shows and summer drives, with a wealth of history behind it. The car does have a roof, which is detachable and stored away, with a plastic rear window all in good condition.
