Actually compared to a standard Ultima the specs are rather poor.
No CD player, no Clim. Con. ( has A /C ), no trip computer, no tacho, no leather, no washer, seat or front screen heaters, no dipping mirror.
So it's the basic model really.
Great power steering, goes like a stabbed rat from a standing start.
Erm, can't get it in me garage, it's too long !

Hey Mr Floppy congratulations with the new purchase. I got to be honest, i never thought you would do it lol. If you want the model woth all the scorpio goodies you need to look out for an LX sport Crown Vic. The CV is a real work horse and that 4.6L is bullet proof. I've seen Crown Victoria's with over 500,000 miles on them with the origional engine and tranny!!!
Body on frame construction, rear wheel drive, and a trunk the size of a cave!!! congratulations buddy

Nice ride
Just hope you've seen the price of imported spares 
That will make running a Jag or top end Merc look like value
Good luck with it.

Got a couple of oil filters online, £10 each.
Went to a popular garage chain ( 8 Letters: A grand race run at Aintree ) for an oil change, they refused to fit products not supplied by them even though they admitted they were unable to supply an oil filter for the car 
I drove 25 miles to another branch of the same company, no problems here , they gladly fitted my supplied filter right away, 5ltrs. 5w-30 plus fitting filter , total cost £20. 
I'll be going back there.

Top man, good luck with it
Nice car, a real step up from your average 5 Series
I'm sure I've seen those door handles before...
