I like these, although I'd have one in completely standard form.

Sold in the European market 1998-02 and the Australian market 1999-04, Built as a sucessor to the Mazda MX6 based Ford Probe. The Cougar was based upon the Mondeo. Launched in 1998 Cougar was sold and built in the United States. Although cars destined to be sold in Europe and the UK were finished in Ford's Köln plant in Germany, where the cars had European specification lighting installed, Ford badges applied and in the case of UK and Australian cars, converted to right hand drive, in the US it had different branding, in this case being branded as the Mercury Cougar, while in Europe and Australia it was known as the Ford Cougar.
The Cougar came equipped with the 2.0 litre (16v) Zetec or 2.5 litre (24v) Duratec V6 engines with two specification levels, largely equivalent to a Mondeo Ghia (standard) and Ghia X (simply X).[2] Manual and automatic transmissions were available. All variants came with 16" alloy wheels as standard. The 2.0 litre version had 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) as standard, while the 2.5 was rated at 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp).[
In the United Kingdom, Ford unveiled the car at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1998.

As a more recent car I was hoping this one might still be around, but strangely it seems to have been taken off the road before either of the 626 coupes with DVLA saying it's been untaxed since 2001. Written-off in an accident perhaps?
The Thames van parked alongside it suggests it might have been attending a show or auction/autojumble?

Mazda launched the second generation MX-6 using the GE platform, shared by the 626 and Ford rebadged cars, the Ford Probe and the Ford Telstar.
It was released in three distinct variants worldwide, known as A-spec, E-spec, and J-spec, which relates to their destined markets – U.S., Europe, and Japan, respectively.
The A-spec variant for the North American market was manufactured alongside the Ford Probe and Mazda 626 from 1992 as a 1993 model by AutoAlliance International in Flat Rock, Michigan. Three trim levels were available on the A-spec models:
RS – Base model, fitted with the FS-DE 2.0 DOHC I4 engine, making 118 hp (88 kW).
LS – Luxury model, fitted with the KL-DE 2.5 DOHC V6 engine, making 164 hp (122 kW).
LS M-edition – A special edition based on the LS.
Built from 1991 in Japan, for Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, compared to the A-spec, the E-spec has different headlights (a two-piece projector setup giving far greater lighting) and taillights, different front and rear bumpers, fog lights, wing-mirrors (power and heated), steering wheel, interior trim, and alloys as standard.
The engine was the same as the U.S. version – the KL-DE 2.5 DOHC V6 engine, making 165 PS (121 kW).
The J-Spec version sold in Japan was exclusive to Japanese Mazda dealerships, and was not badge engineered and sold at other Mazda Japanese dealerships, unlike the MX-3, the MX-5, and the RX-7 coupes.
Engine choice was the KL-ZE 2.5 DOHC V6 making 200 PS (147 kW), a high-compression version of the KL-DE, or the KF-ZE 2.0 DOHC V6 making 160 PS (118 kW); all of the K-series engines in the MX-6 were based on the same engine block and included those found in the Ford Probe, Xedos 6, and MX-3 V6 models.

A very nice looking MX6. I know they're still about in the UK but I remember the last time I saw one it took me a while to remember its name, given how off the radar they'd been for me.
Japanese market brochure. We had these in North America, but they didn't sell nearly as well as the Ford Probe, made in the same factory, Flat Rock, Michigan. Made from 1991-97.
Been scanning a few old photos this eve. Some are a little poor on the quality side, but interesting nonetheless. I'll try to edit & upload some of the better ones over the next few days.
First off we have a Micra Colette, owned by one of my Mother's friends in the early 90's. I think she had this for a while before changing to a Mazda MX6 in the mid 90's. It replaced a rather nice white Cavalier Mk2 estate, which she found too heavy to drive.
DVLA suggests it was exported in 1998. Wonder if it's still going...
