can't believe that you're not buying it...
one note though, when i was buying my Scorpio I've been warned by a Ford specialist about a guy in Scotland who messes with the clock and then gives you an original Ford service history book with all original stamps etc + all kinds of receipts you can imagine... and you can't tell without a further inspection if the car actually has 30k or 330k on the clock...
35k mileage for '95 car doesn't seem real...

Looking at the state of the condenser and the lack of rust on the coil bracket I'd say 35k is likely to be genuine.

well you can't really tell without an inspection. hope it is genuine cause somebody is getting a nice car in that case but i doubt it...

I saw that and wondered about the 600 miles per tank, is he sure it wasn't on metric Otherwise that's about a 40 gallon tank isn't it? Way I drive it would be anyway.

No you're right - no ac - unless it's been removed that makes it VERY early - one of the first off the production line probably. (I don't think it's been removed as the panel in the thingypit is an AC one either).
Is that a radaitor at the front then - not the condenser?

The reason for no aircon is probably because it's only a ghia, my old '95 N reg 2.0 ghia didn't have aircon either

According to both the DVLA vehicle check & Auto Trader vehicle check, this car is registered as being BLACK
Looks as though this car may have been resprayed at some point, & possibly that's the reason why the paintwork is so immaculate with no rust or dents anywhere. Even with such a low mileage, surely you'd expect to see some kind of age related rust/blemishes/paint chips etc somewhere on the bodywork.
It does seem as though there is something about this cars history that is not being revealed 
.......Unless there has been a typo error by the DVLA, it has been known

i dont think that car is black,i think it is aubergine.that one really looks the part ,seems genuine enough.the battleship grey one has an air of "too good to be true"regarding the milage.i know that the clocks arent able to be altered(according to website)but with technology today anything can be altered.
theres more chips now in the average house than there is in harry ramsdens
