Drove from Essex to the tip of North Norfolk last Sunday for a camping holiday.....
......saw none on the A12/A14/A140 
No Scorps on the campsite, & driving around North Norfolk for 5 days, I still didn't see one single Scorpio
Even on the way back from Norfolk to Essex today.....still not a solitary Scorpio in sight
Rare as rocking horse poop in East Anglia.....it would seem

Thought the same when i visited a friend in Fakenham a few months back..... Rye-Fakenham-Rye over a weekend and didnt see one other scorp all the way - and that included the monday morning drive home at rush hour on the '14 and '25
Think they're just starting to reach that "dying breed" status, much like my sierras - just there were fewer to start with

Jon, they seemed to peak around 2004/2005, since then they're gradually becoming rarer. It's been good but the window has closed now, they're getting too old for people to see them as reliable drivers, we're seeing now the low point the last Capris/Cortinas hit about 15 years ago.
Still a couple around here I see regularly (like one which is the mirror image of mine) but also a couple of really worn ones, hate seeing a really tatty Scorp, makes them look so old
