SVOMACH1 has one that ZR did some work on a few years ago.

I'd love one those.

[Laffs]

Still melts my brain its pronounced MARE - KOOR and not MURK - ER

[Quicksilver]

Back in the day I had an acquaintance who had one. He called it a Merker. Absolutely Loved it.

[Rino]

Used to have one.Nice car for its time.

Got a lot of thumbs up driving that car around when we worked on Gary's. Very very cool cars.

[ZR]

Very cool plus drive exceptionally well for a car of it's time.

I still remember being at the All Ford Nats at Carlisle in 2005 -- the Merkur club was using the event as their national meet for the 20th anny of the cars in North America. There were roughly 110 Merkurs in attendance that weekend including 15 or so from the Ontario chapter. Mostly XR4Ti with some Scorpios in the mix too. Quite the sight to behold!

Prefer the European version of them. Ford Sierra. Especially the Cosworth
