The Appeal

Introduced when Ford's Mercury decision was being orientated to take the fight to Studebaker and Buick, the Monterey was Mercury's top-of-the-line offering for 1952, and was immediately destined for big things. It was an enormous hit, and over twenty years managed to carve itself a hefty space as one of the most ubiquitous American motors of the decade.

Originally delivered to the EU - a rare provenance for many of these big American cars - this example went on to spend much of its life in Colombia, and has recently arrived in the Netherlands. We're told that it's in fine working order, and all duties and VAT have been paid. If you want a truly elegant American classic, this is an excellent opportunity.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it's always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer.
