I bought this beast a few ago     I've replaced the tyres, fixed some dodgy wiring, given it a full service, had a new radiator made, new battery and flexible brake hoses. Tomorrow is the dreaded mot... |

Nice motor, I know they're very marmite but I like them (and marmite) I bet they ride and drive like a dream
I've just picked up a Granada with the 24v BOA engine. Considerably more miles than that though! Like 200k more
Got a few minor running issues I need to address but it's a sweet engine.

I don't remember them as being 'marmite' when they came out. Ive met loads of people who like marmite  |

Shame they never did these with a manual transmission! Good luck with the MOT!

Always loved these Scorpios. Went to France years ago in a 2.3 facelift ghia. It was lovely and super comfortable. I would have one tomorrow.

Thanks guys, it passed the mot yesterday but the speedo doesn't work so I'll be underneath looking for the vehicle speed sensor this weekend.
It is a very comfortable car and I'm planning on a trip to Europe in the coming months.
Once I've ironed out the gremlins I'll get a body shop to repair the paint as it's not good at all.
Once it's upto a good standard I'll think about a manual transmission conversion and other mods...
