Introduced in 1972, the Lincoln Continental Mark IV was a personal luxury coupe and Ford’s answer to the Cadillac Eldorado. Styled both inside and out by Wes Dahlberg, the newcomer was longer, lower and lighter than its predecessor. Still very much a neoclassical design, its vertical Rolls-Royce-esque radiator grille and faux spare wheel housing trunk lid were augmented by opera windows let into the C-pillars. The interior featured a ‘Twin Comfort Lounge’ bench front seat with 6-way power adjustment, air-conditioning, Cartier clock, electric windows and plentiful sound deadening. Supremely comfortable thanks to its soft-riding coil-sprung suspension complete with four-link STABUL rear end, the Lincoln featured an early form of ABS called ‘Sure-Track’. Powered by a 460 cu in (7.5 litre) V8 engine allied to three-speed automatic transmission, the Mark IV was reputedly capable of 120mph. The last luxury group announced for the 1975 model-year was the Versailles Edition. Upholstered with ‘Pillow Style’ seats in ‘Crushed Majestic Cloth’, it would probably have horrified Louis XIV but was very much in keeping with the Lincoln’s ultimate land yacht ethos.

Finished in Dark Red with matching Crushed Majestic Cloth upholstery, this rare surviving 1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV is said to have been in single family ownership before arriving in the UK during December 2018. Warranted to have covered just 45,000 miles from new (a figure substantiated by an Actual Mileage declaration on an old US Certificate of Title), the personal luxury Coupe is the best-preserved example we have encountered. Starting readily upon inspection and running notably well, ‘KKH 914N’ boasts a fabulously decadent and seemingly completely original interior. Factory stickers remain affixed to the underside of the trunk lid as well as on the engine’s rocker covers, while equipment includes cruise control, auto dimming headlights and a Gold moonroof. Wonderfully evocative of the 1970s and great value on a £ per lb basis, this exceptional Lincoln is offered for sale with handbook, V5C Registration Document, sundry paperwork and fresh MOT certificate.
