Granda Scorpion 4 X 4

[carl carlson]

My search for a shed continues. I found this

Its worth a call and maybe a viewing. What should I look out for?

[mnkiboy]

Is that like a cross between a Ford Granada and a Grinall Scorpion?

Sounds like fun.

Opps dodgy typing. I shall go hang my head in shame and retake my Enlgish GCSE.

Classic!

I really like it - reminds me of my mum's car I learned to drive in, only not the 4x4. Could you imagine dropping a Cossie engine in there?!

Why is it a one off?

You had to edit a post with 4 words in it. Methinks your Enlgish is just as bad as mine old chap.


Anyway back to this ford thing. What shall be looking for? What faults do they have? I presume that due to it being a ford and used as Taxis in some places it should be pretty built proof.

Reclining back seats

Maybe that's all they sold.
Is it a V6?

My father's 2.9 did 16mpg.

[bob1179]

I really fancy that myself.

Get it bought mate, can't beat a big old Ford barge!

They do rust mind, I'd give it a good going over to make sure there is nothing horrific before handing over my readies.

Yes, it will be a 2.9 Cologne V6

Think because it is black.

Someone else seeing this and the link on Facebook and beating you to it?

I'm tempted myself as a winter barge, I wonder if he'd take a Ford Puma in p/x...

[Mars]

Looks like a superb winter barge. If the bodywork will survive another year, or it already has an MoT, it looks like the answer.

[Andrew_M]

I spotted and may have got an insurance quote, super cheap to insure, £20 more than a 1999 Ford Ka in fact

[LuS1fer]

I do need to tell you that my father's car was a 2.9 RWD but it was horrid. the steering was horrible, the ride was horrible, it was a right old barge and despite being a Scorpio, his even had wind-down rear windows. Build quality was pretty lousy.

[hairykrishna]

Why is it unique? Did they not make a 4wd Scorpio or something?
