Hi Adam, and welcome
I, too, am quite new here, and I've done the same as you, ie gone from a Vectra to a Scorpio. The Vectra was a 1.8 GLS though, not the juicy V6, and my Scorp is a 2.3 Ultima Estate.
Cheers
Dan.

Well, if you had an auto TD you'd be scuppered for towing (according to Ford)!

Hi Adam and welcome to the Scorpio phase of your life
I'm a happy owner of a -98 TD Estate from Finland. Also have a "to do" list long like trip around the world, but at least at the moment all things are minor jobs. Like replacing the AC compressor and half of the AC related hoses and equipment after two seized AC compressors.
The car is excellent to drive, silent and comfortable - but you already knew that!

And there is a lot of space for your fishing equipment in the trunk!
