It's got two doors and a V6
It's not a Merc but it has the same features as their 300SL
I've been after one time and time again 
Any guesses?

......It's a Scorpio..that's missing its back doors.. because someone has stolen them to make door babies. And now you need doors! You should have said. Try eBay. Or you could have mine for multiplying.
No. Is it an E-type? Or were they all V12s..
Schimitar?
Am I close with E-type?
I'm off to start a thread on the problems page : )......

I'm just imagining what a open top Scorpio Coupe would look like mmm, nice.
Is it too late for Ford to crank up the assembly line again ?

You lot are useless LOL
The clue was in the 'time' reference.
I am about to become the proud (and possibly very broke) owner of a Delorean.
And I am so happy

Hi Admin ,
Don't worry if it breaks  , it can always take you "back to the future" to when it will be working again  and you will never have to repair her !!
Congrats.

I guess I was closest then with two phone boxes!!
I nearly bought a Delorean once and still have the sales brochure for it! I can scan it and mail it to you if your email address is still the same if you want
My wife lived in Belfast and one of her neighbours worked for good old JD and had a car as well!!
There's actually two on autotrader at the moment. Both 1981 models. one at £11,750 and the other at £16,500
I like them anyway!

Cheers Baz, yes email address is the same and I'd love a copy.
I'm getting mine in the US and it's been a desert car all it's life - best of it's $14,000 and the exchange rate is $1.91 today so for just over £7k it's a bargain. Shipping and customs etc is around £1500 and converting to UK MOT standard is £500 - plus I get to use it in the US for a couple of months.
I'll probably do another scorpio style web site for it eventually - hope other owners are as great as Scorpio owners

Now then, ( thinks this is going to be a possibly dangerous/life threatening post) erm well fingerprints on stainless steel.
You may already know this one Steve but.... as those of us with stainless steel kitchen appliances know finger prints are an absolute bar steward.
But the solution is at hand. Jumbo can of WD40 and lots of polishing cloth and preferably someone else to do the hours of polishing needed.
Happy motoring!

Hi Steve, i would be interested to know if SVA would be a problem, or because of the year of manufacture or the fact it was built in Ireland,would it not apply? john.n

Hi Steve,
Interesting choice.
From what I remember though, the main problem with these cars was that it tends to stop at every
'white line' in the road and have a sniff!!!
Oh, sorry, that was the factory Con Artist.
Good luck with it and I look forward to the WebSite.
Cheers

De Lorean,
Well done, thats a nice toy, everyone else has done the Back to future thing so I'm not.
Just hope you enjoy driving around in it....If it gets a mark on it you can use Fairy liquid and a Brillow Pad! Joke!!
Honstly Nice Car!
