Walter Mendanha's Mercury Comet

We pride ourselves on bringing you the unusual in Retro Ford, and we think we can consider this, ‘job done’ with this car!

Mercury being a division of Ford - they used Ford platforms, with different badging and in some cases slightly different bodywork to be sold in other markets. Think Mercury Merkur Sierra for example!

The Interesting story about this car is that not many came to Europe, but in South America it is considered the 69 Charger ‘Muscle car’ of the country!

It certainly is a testament to what Walter and his team can achieve and it’s certainly a very rare car this side of the water!

Featured in our Readers' Car section by Rob Cheesmur.

4 weeks to go until Christmas, so there's still time to be included in our £1,000 Prize Draw Competition. Subscribe before Christmas Eve and you will automatically be entered into the competition.

Our January issue is out on sale on 7th December, available in your local stockist, but once it's gone, it's gone, so why not subscribe, get your copy delivered to your door and even earlier than when it goes on sale, get your free RF t-shirt all for just £4.29 a month.
