Mk6B

Was there ever a Merlyn Mk6B made? There's an entry for a 1680cc Mk6B in the 1964 Malaysia Grand Prix (Singapore) but by that time the car had ceased to exist. It had apparently burst into flames during practice at the Johore Grand Prix (31Aug-1stSept 1963). The Johore entry was simply a Merlyn Ford Mk6. Owner Stanley Leong also had two other Merlyns - an ex-works Mk7 (probably a reworked Mk5) and eventually a Mk10 Merlyn (which went on to win the Singapore Grand Prix of 1967).

Does anyone know of Merlyn 6 chassis records?
