Project Merlot is dead! long live Project Merlot...


After 5 long years of nothing more than outright abuse on race tracks, airfields and Club runs up and down the UK (and a trip to Le Mans) Project Merlot has finally been pensioned off! Yes, that's it, all over for the Special Edition Merlot.! All you guys out there who have driven it, (and that's a lot of people now) have driven it for the last time...

Never has there been a better advert for the durability and reliability of an MX-5 than the good old Merlot, but sadly the tin worm has won, so we've given up..!

But don't despair, because we have just rescued another broken car and Project Merlot "Black" will be hitting the streets soon, destination Silverstone on Saturday 17 September for the OC National Rally. There's a lot of work to do, but fortunately Team Merlot are able to turn it over to their tame mechanic, some say if it wasn't
for Project Merlot he might still be married and that in 5 years he's only changed the oil once! All we know is, he's called Roadster Robbie....
