Excellent examples you have got there. I had the Mercury Cougar in the same colour, so was that the only colour available maybe!

I really think this range of cars could have been so much better, they really did not develop the range with additional models, as so many real cars were waiting to be modeled and the range was too short-lived.

I must get me another of those Mercury models, it is superb. Thanks for showing them here.

Very nice models. I have the same thoughts as you Ghosty, I think the range had a lot of potential.

I've never figured out why the K22 was the most popular one and always gets a good price.

Thank's Motorman, that colour is not mentioned on Nick's Guide, and while I can see it is different to the known 'Gold' coloured models, a shame the model was not given more distinct colours.

Alex your Mercury Cougar is one I have not seen before, It was only available in gold so it could well be a pre pro.
Red seats are htf in the Mercury, Nice finds guys.
