Hello from Chicagoland

Post by ablock »

Hello all!

I do not have a Merkur as of yet, but am going to be in the market for one (hopefully) in the next couple months.

I have always thought they were neat cars, and hearing tales of my Dad's Xr4ti really stuck with me, and I carry around the
keyring and Merkur "drop in any mailbox" keychain with my keys every day.

Recently, I was able to track down and re-acquire his former '74 Porsche 914 that I grew up in as a youth, and figured to myself,
why not buy a Merkur to have fun with too.

I am putting another vehicle on the market soon, and hope to have it sold, so I can start car hunting.

Welcome Aboard! :cheers

Karmanns are loved here! A 914 is one of those unscratched itches I've always had. Good luck with your search!
