Hi!
even though I do not know the exact dimensions of the heater matrix, I think it will fit as the same matrix is used in the sierra and escort also.
But I also think it's quite expensive, in germany you can buy the same via ebay for 15 Euro which means something about 10 GBP. Have a close look.
I bought one which was specified for the sierra and had just to cut away some millimeters from the radiator housing. Quite a side job with respect to the rest to be done for exchanging it on a 95.
Greets, Till

macroy.......that ain't a Scorpio matrix....it doesn't even look like the original 
It is a cheap matrix, that will state on the box....fits, Sierra/Granada/Scorpio...(notice his other auction for an earlier Granada matrix is the exactly the same)
It will only fit in the Scorp if you file the centre hole in the heater box bigger. The cheapo matrix has a big bulbous plastic end, which is too big to fit through the centre hole.
Also, it is shorter & doesn't have as many veins as the proper one, so will not be as efficient.
The proper one is about £108 inc Vat from FMD 
It is quite a time consuming & difficult job to do,(not for the feint hearted), so if you intend to keep the car, then go for the proper one, it will last for another ten years 
There is no guarantee with the cheapo ones....so you could be taking the dash out again in 6 months time 
Hope this helps
