Just been listed on Car & Classic, Ash Black '95 cossie saloon:
https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1139087
Last MOT'd October 2006 before coming out of hiding end of last year. Certainly quite an adventurous pricetag though - they're not worth that much just yet!!

Early car build date feb 95, 1600 miles in 13 years must be a record, will need running in to coax it from slumber I suppose, as Xander says adventurously priced for sure.
Mot history virtually non existent, all bills shown must be old and it seems to have added an airbag somewhere according to the seller, proper pictures and a good price would help....watch this space

Looks pretty but it's 1995 so will probably have bad wiring insulation. I would be very wary.

Hi all,
I think the 12v is the one from my post on the 13th July and last commented on 31st July if it is N571 DHK.

Still live on ebay at present, made a couple of grand on that then perhaps Scorpios are on the up after all. I had thought about it but with the old G engine and electrics thought it a mongrel, half way house motor.
Nice body though 
And original price on ebay £1400, bet he's sick as a parrot
