Seeing as we have so many members and a few of us have/had more then one scorpio why not share a picture or 2 of them
heres My first
1998 R reg 24V Sadly ended up wrapped round a sign post snapping the rear subframe and tearing the bolt hoes as i later found out RIP!
Next
1998 2.3 estate, Bought as a non runner as head had cracked
I ended up putting the complete 2.0 top end on thus making it essentially an rs2300 unit
Then 1995 12V. Bought this to Repair the old cossie but it ended up being gutted and sold for parts. Only pics i had of it  . As you can see i started to repair it before changing my mind
Then 1995 TD cat C write off
Soon had the damage bits off and new bits fitted. However It found its self being the donor for the 24v manual
Then 1996 24v, still own this one, has manual gear box and other mods to come include the 4.0 and a 1 off body kit
Then 2.3 1998 Reg bought from a scrap yard originally to put back on the road only to find out it had already been filed as disassembled, so planned to use it for parts and to made a show going escort van, plans changed and it ended up going back to the scrap yard it came from minus the face lift bits
then 1998 facelift. Bought between Craig and Myself, was stripped to keep our 24's on the road
Next 1995 24v, bought for 1p !!! hence it gained the nickname penny cleaned up a treat as you can see, took me and my girlfriend to the isle of white before being sold to my neighbour
and finally a super early 2.5 TD (still runs the granada setup engine wise) its exchanged hands a lot quite recently, currently at work having a few issues fixed
Sorry about the LARGE pics, i will resize after work (just about to leave as this took longer as i thought lol)

All very nice, but sheesh some of the pix are 'uge
Okey-dokes ~ 1995 2L 16V
Taken 2005, good bit scruffier now as top lacquer's lost its gloss
Question is, is it the only working Exec still left in the world?
NB started life as a fleet vehicle for Balfour Beatty hence extra aerial on top of rear window for a radio 'phone

1. photoshop, paint-shop type graphics edit program
2. I dunno some people might like to rip off your reg. number and stick it on their nicked or otherwise illegal car, might save some aggro in the long run. You never know! I've noticed Google street view do it as well. Obscuring reg. numbers I mean.

Perhaps not a great concern for Scorpio owners, but there is a lot of info that can be obtained based on the registration like your home address, derived from that even more info like phone number etc. But in my case it was because I don't own it anymore. Then some countries like Germany change registration number whenever the owner changes or moves to a new town.
