What a good idea Simmo.
I also had a chat with Jackie and am impressed with what they have to offer.
The MOT on The Beast is due shortly so I think I will wait for the outcome of that little test before I engage SP's services.

Ok Mike. If you do get to use them please let us know and if you send a pump remind Jackie of our 'arrangement'. I get the impression she is a lady who is not likely to forget!

Any more hiding out there, does the wife even know you've got a Scorpio!!?
Even in the london area we have no more "seen by you" entries lately.
Just trying to keep up with the cars we have (left) no one yet with a base model (sold mine - new owner loves it sooo much its on ebay at the moment!).

Just thought I'd chip in again, as we seem to have lost the thread here.
The latest numbers by DVLA is 328 on the road and 1076 on sorn-this does not include any dealers hanging on to cars as they now fudge the numbers, as do the many held by the banger boys.
In short 2.0l @ 274 2.3l @ 475 2.9l 564 & 94 diesels, this sounds way out to me as we can only account for about 70 on here, so must be lots in sheds or hiding somewhere. They seem to be going up in value at a slower rate then vanishing, but this will change in time as they get beyond the reach of banger boys-so look after yours Quentin is flying the flag for us all out there and only had one person says he didnt like it!
It was great to see a Scorpio I don't own! perhaps we should all take thm to shows - didn't look out of place one bit and made a change from all the BMC/British leyland stuff, you know something different for a change they seem to be wearing well in time unlike the "G" which now looks rather dated particularly the late 80s ones. 
Tons on the continent, and still making money have a look on "the parking" site to see what i mean.

Well I saw another at Longbridge Deverill last week, a red Ghia TD estate.
I think the bloke who didn't like mine would have reacted the same if it had been an 820, an Omega or a 605, he just thought it was too young but they have to start somewhere.

Thougt I'd just check how many lovely cars left in UK
NOT quite as depressing as I had anticipated, looks like 225 on the road and 1108 in sheds garages or melting into the lawn somewhere.
Ultimas (as the wanger boys call them) cosworths are 45 on the road and 302 in the shed or on the lawn.
All the more reason for getting out and about (when we can) so Joe Public (yes it does have an L in it) can wonder what a lovely car 
And save up to buy one!

Hi Mike
true though, if you leave it in a field for long enough it becomes part of the field, but on slabs etc dont suffer so much.
Trust you and the cossie are well and looking forward to showing ruby off when you can.
Cheers
  < dunno what they are, no labels showing on my interweb thingy

HI, Ruby, my Cosworth Estate is up and running around happily with her new MOT. I keep her mobile 'cause I love driving her and she hates to be ignored (that's my excuse). I did a round trip from Brecon to Taunton a week or so ago: What a pleasure! 28.5mpg overall. I've done the same journey in my Mini Cooper and there is no comparison as they are two very different motors. Still it got me there and back.
Back to Ruby, I use all the different driving modes pretty regularly and she seems to thrive on it. The pre Sa s

We have a 1996 2.0 Ultima 16v Auto in Aubergine that has done 107,000 miles and which we use everyday and all year round.
We also have a 1997 2.3 ultima Auto in Samarkand (or Samakand? I'm not sure which as I looked it up and apparently Ford used both but I can't find out which was used on the Scorpio) which we bought in around 2012 but have not yet used because we bought the above Scorpio just a few weeks after buying this one (we intend to get this one on to the road in the next year or so). it has done 48,000 miles and has 1 previous owner.
Also, until early this year, when we sold it, we had a 1995 (registered in February so quite early into production) 2.0 16v Auto Executive in Aubergine that has done 76,000 miles that we had owned since 2006 and used until purchasing the 2.0 Ultima.

Looks real bad now, from the how many left site cossies are
taxed in shed?
exec 2 10
ghia 1 20
ghia X 5 9
ultima 34 288
12v 2.9s
A (??) 1 5
ghia 2 16
ultima 12 101
8vs
exec 1 7
ghia - 2
ghia auto - 1
diesels
exec 2 11
ghia - 17
ghia X 1 1
gha X auto - 5
ultima 3 41
ultma auto 1 10
For all combined scorps
167 1098
Sorry to the 2.3 owneers but they are all mixed in with the 16v entries
Sorry if it doesn't read right, fault of the system not the orginator
So there is tons of ultimas, but if you want a rare one go for exec 8v or diesel.
Not sure what the "12v A" is possibly early cars before the ultima badges were fitted on the doors, both Xanders ultima 12v and my N cossie (june & july '95) only have ultima on the gearbox trim. BUT my blus cos sloon (mar '95) has a plain cover (but am sure has a different interior to original) used to be m60 cjn and was on here a long time ago.
Have done my best to make sure only scorps here and no grannys
Happy scorping (is this a new werd?)

Shame so few left on the road now. Don't drive mine so much as I've bought another ULEZ compliant motor. But still enjoy taking it out for a ride but also feel sad that I will have to offload it at some point - great ride and that engine just loves 'S' mode
