Parts
Most parts for Merkur Scorpios are widely available although certain custom features are not. Most parts are available in the United States but some have to be located in Europe and shipped internationally.
The Scorpio used a high security design called a Tibbe key in the ignition; this design is still used on European Fords and most Jaguar cars, but they are relatively uncommon in the U.S. There are few unused blank keys for replacements in the states, and most have to be sourced from Ford of Europe.

Famous quotes containing the word parts:
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’m an expert in hookers. I’m an expert in doormats. I’m an expert in victims. They were the best parts. And when I woke up—sociologically, politically, and creatively—I could no longer take those parts and look in the mirror.”
—Shirley MacLaine (b. 1934)
“The squirming facts exceed the squamous mind, If one may say so.”
—Wallace Stevens 1879–1955, U.S. poet. “Connoisseur of Chaos,” Parts of a World (1942)
