​page 6 never seen before  - photo tour of visit the  
​​1st Merlin factory

Meet Mr and Mrs Rafael Dichoes , the owners of the workshop. They now only use the workshop as an artist's gallery.

The 1988 produced Merlin Nomada which was fitted with the reliable 450cc Cagiva engine

And the specification sheet

This room is where the Merlin designers worked from .
Have you seen any Merlin logos.....or anything connected with the past yet ??

Because my wife has ....and she beat you to it. In the last photo above ...you can see this Merlin DG1 decal sheet stuck on the underneath of the roof. Now do yourself a favour and phone the optician.

The decals look like they were drawn by a child. Perhaps that was the idea.

From the window on the right you can see own onto the workshop.

The Merlin DG3 Fius produced from 1986  and 1987 with minor changes for 1988.

And the tech sheet

The photo beneath was my attempt at being artistic...but  i think it is lost on you motorcycle people :)

Here is the big window ...so the boss can make sure the workers are working and show them the stick if they are not.

Back down into the office past the photos of Rafael's
