This Mercury's history can be traced back to 1999 when it was owned by a Mr Marietta in Texas. Mr Marietta sold the car to a Mr Vickers in Ontario, Canada, who kept it until 2016 when he sold it our vendor. Since then the car has benefited from much care and various improvements: drum brakes converted to discs; sanding and repainting of the entire under-chassis; and regular servicing to keep it permanently drivable.
Accompanying documentation includes a (copy) Texas Certificate of Title; Swiss customs duties proof of payment; and a substantial quantity of invoices for parts and work. The car also comes with an expertise carried out by Mercury expert Ed Thornton in November 2007 for the aforementioned Canadian owner.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams|Cars website for all pertinent auction information.
