I haven't seen a Merkur in at least three decades, but I do recall the LM dealer having an XR4 in the showroom for sale. Best I recall, the Merkur had an intercooler that the Turbo Coupe lacked.
My 1984 Turbo Coupe was a manual.
Did yours have the multi articulating Recaro seats?
Mine had them, but I can't recall if I ordered it that way, or if the Recaro's were standard on all of the early turbo coupes.
Part of a 'sport' package IIRC from Dad's.....maybe also included a black highlighted grill and Goodyear Eagles??? I think I remember red velour on the front seats. Going way back to the memory banks here.
