Howard Freeman races a very handsome Merlyn Eleven. Less than a dozen Elevens were built - far less than the following year's model, the 11A - and only a small handful of Elevens are believed to survive. I've previously published two articles about 11A racecars. I think it's interesting to compare those cars to this Eleven and to look for small design and construction differences. Can you spot any interesting details that I missed?
