Daren Mk.1The Daren Mk.1 is the first car built by Daren Cars.HistoryDaren Cars was founded in 1967, by racing driver John Green. The car was built on the chassis of a Merlyn MK11 Formula Ford. The car was successful in racing, raced with several engines throughout its life, but would ultimately remain a one-off. The car was successful enough to draw in at least 2 orders. Still, John Green elected to develop the Daren Mk.2 instead of further developing the Mk.1. But before John Green started the Mk.2 development, he began building the Jerboa SP.
