Scorpio Cosworth cooling fan...

Greetings from Finland!
I'm considering to buy Scorpio Cosworth estate '95 and I'm going to see&test it 02/25 so I have one week to get tips what to check and where to pay attention in that vehicle. I've already had one sedan with N3A engine and manual gears before so this BOB engine & A4LDE transmission are beyond my knowledge 
http://www.nettiauto.com/viewVehicle.php?id_car=616190&PN
Link above shows the selling adv. and there is some pictures of car. One picture is taken from engine and shows cooling fan which is front of the radiator  I wonder is that original construction because I've only met double fans engine side.
I would be very pleased for Your help and sorry my english, this is what's left since high 20yrs ago!
Many thanks forehead...
Pete

Hi.
I think you're right - the fan is usually engine side of the rad.
It looks different to mine as it doesn't have AirConditioning radiator in front of the main one either.

Agree with Paul...if my memory serves me well that looks like a fan from a pre 95 granada...may be wrong!

I think there was some sort of cold weather option with the Scorpio as an option in colder climates, maybe something to do with that?
Baz might be your man to ask

Isnt that an after-market fan like what they sell on Demon Tweaks etc?

Hmmm well you can see it has not got aircon fitted & it has the basic heater setup.
It should still have the twin fans engine side of the rad I would have thought?
But why the big Granada Mk3 type aircon fan at the front
Strange.

That Sco has aircon (and seller claims working properly) so this seeable fan associates to that... I think This vehicle has been imported from Germany as used last year and has inspected (yearly basis in Finland) here so at least the emissions have been in those limits setted for low emission cars here. Seller says also there is service book which shows that services has been done in time and even in Ford -service. But who knows. It has driven about 150.000km so if those are truly kms it should be in good condition... I think again Do U have any advices whereto pay exXxtra attention next saturday...

If you can contact the seller and ask for the last 8 digits of the VIN number, that may shed some light on the issue. It may be a retro fan to increase airflow but I would have thought that may have been needed in warmer countries and although my geography isn't great, Finland isn't near the equator I don't think and sometimes additional cooling is employed on some diesels when towing, but this isn't a diesel nor has it got a towbar!
If you can get the VIN we can see if it was a factory addition or an aftermarket one

Could these digits be: NRR45553 ? These are the eight last of that long line of digits which are found in registration sheet ( straight translation to english = assembly number)
Thanks!

Digits in plate top of rad are WFONXXGAGNRR45553 so those eight earlier were last ones
If Baz can get something out with these num. I would be very grateful !
And yeah, it has aircon(not automatic) and it works by heat setting knob(push/pull)... have to be some kind of poormans con.. - suits for me

Thanks for comments! I've solved the mystery of aircon. To be exact it works manually (no climate control) by heat selector and center knob (which selects air to come outside or circulate inner) have a litle A/C icon and turns aircon on or off by push&pull. What we see behind that huge fan is condenser and after that lies radiator with its douple fans.
Is this why we came down from trees...
Have a nice weekend,
Pete

It's very similar to the Mk3 set-up but that big fan is a different part, still can't make out the condenser rad thow 
Oh well aircon it is then
