Formula Ford ?

[Joe mackrell]

Does anyone know what this car is.

You're in the UK and don't know what a Formula Ford is? You must be a young guy.
Formula car, no wings small tires, powered by a 1600 Kent motor as found in a Cortina, Current models could use a Ford Zetec in UK or Honda Fit in the US.

perhaps the original poster intended to include a photo of a car, and was asking "is this a formula ford?"

[CARSHouston]

I was hoping that until I saw it was under general discussion, but maybe he couldn't figure out how to post a photo.

Sorry not very clear
i know it’s a formula Ford I race one, just after the maker of this particular car. I like the engine cover and would like to purchase one to modify to fit my car. By the way I’m 73

Maybe you need a few more posts before you can include a photo?

Hi Joe,
To be clear, all we see is what is in the green box above this text. We don't see a picture, which is why we were confused at first.

Are you trying to post the example image used by wikipedia? It is a unique looking car with the radiators behind the engine like that.

I believe that is a Merlyn MK31.

Looks like a Mk30 Merlyn. My first and most forgettable race car. It did teach me a lot about car control though.
