Mondeo? |

Not a European Mondeo, but what was the US Mondeo-based Ford called? Taurus? |

the Contour, but this one looks more like the Mystique. Did they have Mercs in Russia? |

A lot. So in the town center of Moscow are more visible than in German towns. And always the top trim-lines with the biggest engines, often even heavily tuned up AMG's and so. In 2005 I've seen a 300 SL Gullwing as a decoration object in the main Mercedes store (really big) there. Maybe that car: /vehicle_326261-Mercedes-Benz-300-SL-W198.html Plus a 300 "Adenauer". |

I think he means Mercury, not Mercedes ![]() |

Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not common with these terms (also "Bimmer" for BMW I've heard here at IMCDB for the first time ever...). Btw. Was there ever an official export of any Mercury's to any European countries? Seems not. There is no "Mercury" in the list: http://www.mobile.de/home/index.html -- Last edit: 2010-09-17 13:06:55 |

http://www.finn.no/finn/car/used/result?CAR_MODEL/MAKE=7554 Probably Mercurys were officially sold in Norway in the late 1940's to the 1960's, then after that they were mainly imported or sold at dealers for AM-Cars. |

Therte are some here, I've seen some with German, Dutch or French plates, but always classics like the late 60ies-Cougar or so. So surely private imports. |

Upto 2003 the bigger models of Mercury were sold in Holland, I don't have a 2004 catalogue, and in 2005 they weren't available anymore. In the 50s and 60s some Mercury cars were even assembled in the Amsterdam factory. (Imported by Ford Nederland, only since the late 90s imported by Hessing (who did also cars like Rolls-Royce, Ferrari etc.). -- Last edit: 2010-09-17 13:27:38 |

Used American market cars come to Russia (same way to Poland) by many specialized import trades. |
