Hello folks.

Im Paul. I reside here in the UK. BigGrin

I have a 1959 Mercury Monterey with a 312 Y Block.

My car was imported from McCool Mississippi, via Billoxi in 2003. A solid car that required a full interior re-trim & body paint/re-chrome etc. But was an ok runner & solid in all the right places.

I am the importer & sole UK owner. Word on the street is there are about five '59 Mercurys here in the UK.

Currently the engine is out & about to be rebuilt. So Im likely to be bugging you chaps for advice!! w00t

Parts for my car are (as you would expect) are not available in the UK, so I have to import everything.

Here are some pictures.


This is what it should look like . . .

The body & interior restoration took place between 2003 & 2007.

Look forward to chatting & begging for your experience fellas ! Cool

  Picture taken in 1960. Funnily enough it still looks like this! BigGrin

1959 Mercury Monterey 312 Y Block.   NORFOLK, ENGLAND, UK.
