Is it only me or are the PDFs not displaying correctly with large sections missing?

It isn't only you, for some reason "export as PDF" in LibreOffice 5 on my 1Gb Windows10 PC is producing the results as uploaded. My 6Gb laptop won't start Windows at the moment but I have a plan, please just bear with me.

OK after commandeering my son's laptop and installing LibreOffice 6 on it, all PDFs successfully created and uploaded to the relevant posts.

Thanks for this! It makes the Cougar look ultra swanky! For some reason the last few pages arn't available as PDFs?

Sorted, Dan, and shrunk to fit the Forum file-size limit and uploaded to UKCougar.

Thanks. I thought you guys might enjoy a peek at that since it has our cars in it as well as the rest of the Mercury line up. Sorry about the condition of it. I came across it in the back of a parts car I had bought. No clue how long it was there but I've had the car a couple year. I'm suprised the moisture didn't destroy it before we got a chance to immortalize it on the internet.

I love the Grand Marquis too, I'd have one of those for definite.

I had a lincoln town car which is yet another branch of Ford and it was about like that car. Not bad. I'll see if I can find my pics back of it. Y'all will get a kick out of it lol.

The UK Ford Cougar2 brochure dated Feb 2001.

630mm * 297mm glossy card double sided two folds



Attached as .pdf

So the C2 is all the later facelift models then not just the one with the specific paint colour and bodykit

 

[spjmorris]

The facelift car was sold as Cougar 2 in the UK.
In the US there was a special edition called C2, which also happens to be a facelift car.

C2 = US special edition
Cougar 2 = UK Facelift.

Made the thread more logical; I moved the UK Cougar2 item from post#1 to a new post and edited post#1 to be an index which I can add to when any new items are posted.

I've found some in a stack of Ford and Jaguar literature my Dad collected around 1999, these were on a shelf in my bedroom that I thought contained old computer magazines.

The first on here is a Ford collection of Autocar and What Car? articles, the last six pages are a preview of the new Cougar, Feb 1998.

This is a single-sheet leaflet from April 1998, the back is a poster which is awkward to scan at home:
