Great Collection Fox, really enjoy browsing through the photos ! Looking forward to seeing some more !
I have a few Mercury models, mostly the racecars from the 60s, Ferrari's, Alfa's, but I do have 1
Lancia Flavia #31 I got cheap on ebay. Hard to find Mercury models within my budget though.

Was just watching a classic Italian film which has many 1:1 scale Mercury models featured, "Il Sorpasso" 1962, an interesting
"road" film, I believe you can spot a few of those Auto Carrier's on some of the highway scenes.

Excellent find Stephane and for our British viewers...it looks very similar to the Hillman Minx.

Those car transporters are great - make me think of the Italian Job! Just need a rusty Austin Cambridge to fall off the top! :lol:
