...comes from the 3 inch range introduced during 1974-78. It was the only 'Classic' car in the range in the Blue shown and a medium Green.

The range of models the Merc was part of was a 'Budget' range and in fact the Merc is not a bad representation of the car whereas many of the other models in the range are more like caricatures of the cars they are based on!

This is the Jeepster!
