I wonder what caused that?

Seat of the fire is pretty clearly the engine bay.

TR7 used to burst into flames linked to some sort of wiper mechanism problem. Not really heard of any spontaneous Scorps.

I'm surprised that there are not more Scorps bursting into flames considering the poor insulation and routing of wiring looms, and their proximity to VERY HOT bits of the car .
