Well I sold my '92 2.0 GLX H/B yesterday so today I went and bought this a '94 Scorpio with 79k. Apparently she used to be owned by the late Len Ganley the snooker referee.

gouch1

Well since I last posted I have fitted a set of cossie wheels, removed the towbar and the old handsfree kit and changed the Ford radio/tape/cd player for a more upto date unit.

Really like that! Looks well in the blue!

Here's some new pictures, I hope you like them.





































and one with my Vauxhall Vectra

Has this got the electric reclining rear seats? The button is near the sill in the back.

ellisjoseph66

No it hasn't as it was one of the last models made, but I use to have to have a 1990 model which did have them.

Crackin aul Granny mate !

Looks a good one. I've had two 2.0's and a 24v, and they all were great cars for the money. Comfy as feck, and the 24v was the best Ł800 I ever spent.
Seeing yours on the 24v wheels has got me looking at Autotrader.
Edited to add..I had an auto 2.0 and a manual. The manual made it a much nicer car to drive weirdly enough, especially with it being a comfy cruiser.

chris cdti

That's a shame. One of my dads last ones he got given when they where used as taxis was a 93 Scorpio like yours that had them fitted. He mainly got 2.0i twin cams that where either Scorpio or ghia specs g reg to l reg. He even got given a 24v cosworth in white . They where great cars back in the day, shame the mk1 mondeo's that followed where not as good.

TOOTALL

My 24v hatchback was white. Didn't see too many in white.
The mondeo did struggle to go sideways like the granny did, hence why I never bought one back then.

chris cdti

The one my dad had was a facelift on a k plate in hatch flavour.

ellisjoseph66

I would love a 24v model but I would like one that's been converted to manual although I i'm not going to modify this one in any way that can't be put back, but I do know where the is a mint shell mius it's engine which would be ripe for a 24v conversion.

ellisjoseph66

This is the white one I had a '93 2.0 GLX manual.





and the '90 saloon 2.0 Scorpio

chris cdti

He did have a magenta saloon on a 91 H that was a glx with a boot spoiler on but it had silver bumpers and silver at the bottom of the doors. I don't know if it was a dealer special etc but I did see a j plate saloon in smoke stone that was the exact same but it was a 24v.

TOOTALL

Seeing the white hatch is bringing back some memories. It was stolen. It looked a bit different being 24v, but the rear lights and general look is there. Some might say it's a bit strange missing an Ł800 car, but it was a hoot. It took us raving, and on fishing trips when I was about 20, and we did it in comfort at twice the national. Good times.

I like granadas too.I would have on and I would fit air bags to it and have a big set of wheels on it.

purplebargeken

That is a very tidy Granada. I've had 3 of the 2.9 Ghia's and they were brilliant. The leather interior is fantastic, the comfiest car by car.

ellisjoseph66

I have now bought an RS rear spoiler for her, It should be here by the end of the week so I'll post some pics then.

Less.

Nice granny

Scorpio24vDan

Great to see pics of some nice examples
Keep up the work your putting in mate
Love the mk3s had about 6/7 lol but only 2.0l
Estate and hatchbacks
Before moving to the Scorpios, they are all oneof the most underrated cars imo
Enjoy

ellisjoseph66

It's the only one I know of on the road around my area and I get alot of looks when i'm out in it. I've had quite a few people asking to buy it but i'd never get another as good and i'm also driving it more than my V6 CDTi Vectra.

ellisjoseph66

I've bought a RS spoiler for my hatchback Mk3 and i'm looking for a bit of advise for painting and fitting it. I was going to do it with rattle cans for the mean time as a temporary job. Where would I find the paint code on my car? The spoiler is currently white so what would be the best procedure to prep it and paint it and then fit it.

ellisjoseph66

Hi again this is the spoiler I got....went out tonight for a trail fitment.

ellisjoseph66

Well I eventually got around to painting and fitting my RS rear spoiler, now to see if I can find an oil filter for the autobox.

TOOTALL

Looks well.

milehighxr

I noticed that it looks like you removed the towbar? If so, do you have pics of the attachment points to the body? If it is still there, can you get me pics of the attachment points to the body?

I have this towbar for US spec Scorpio:



Am told I won't need these, something about my bumper or some such:


Any help on the install of this would be appreciated. It is going on my wifes daily driver, and needs to be physically in over a 3 day weekend, or less.

Thanks, Johnny

ellisjoseph66

Sorry I can't help as I don't have the car anymore, but all I done was remove the actual ball part of the towbar.

rdvil

ellisjoseph66
