DAMAGED MERLIN FOR SALE
My Merlin received some minor flood damage last year, but my insurers do not want to repair it and want to write it off for scrap. I have argued for over 6 months that even if i do not want to put it back on the road it is to "valuable" a resource to just scrap, as I felt there were other members/potential owners/builders that might be interested in it.
The leather interior etc are untouched by the flood. They have finally agreed a buyback of £2500.00. I have already repaired the fairly minor damage and the car is running, but it has not been on the road since last July. I am about to start another course of hospital treatment, so am not sure if I want to keep the car or not.
I was going to sell it last year, and had a lot of interest on ebay at over £5000.00 when I had to pull it from the auction due to the flooding. It has an agreed value of £10,000 with insurers and it won best new merlin on its début (1994 I think) and has still done very little mileage. As it has so many extras on it and is basically a sound, running car, I think it a crying shame that the insurers will only scrap it, so, as long as I can get more than the buy-back price, I would be happy to see it go to someone else. Can you help?
I am about to change servers, so my email might be out for a while, although should still get to me, or my day number is 01865 820206, evening 01865 821052.
Hope you can help save this car.

UNSTARTED KIT
I have a merlin 2+2 kit from about 15 years ago (Cortina based) currently as a rolling chassis. The pinto engine has been rebuilt (rebored to 2.1, balanced and lightened) with uprated oil pump (no head in place). I also have a new head with bigger valves new cam shaft, spray bar, gaskets etc(plus and old head). I have a complete new ignition system (coil, dist, leads) with lumenition kit a new electric fuel pump and filter, and stainless exhaust system. The suspension was rebushed prior to fitment to chasis. The lights are fitted to the body and an original wiring harness is available. The screen, doors and bootlid have been fitted. I am based in north Kent any reasonable offer around £1000 would be considered. I will be moving north in about 6 months so I want to clear the garage by then I can be contacted by or phone on 07736383205
