Title: A worthy replacement?
Post by Kjetil S on Mar 21^st, 2006, 10:38pm

Seems like you can buy anything on ebay, maybe this one can be a worthy replacement of the Scorpio?

I'm looking at my Driving Licence, I think I am allowed to drive it as long as it ain't over 500cc and has a sidecar.

I wonder if they'll do a swap with my old Nissan Bluebird ?

Helicopters aside, why do Ford Europe consistantly deny us a decent Scorp replacement when all they need to do is import a few Australian Ford Fairlanes?

With 4 litres under the bonnet and nearly 17 ft long, they're fair dinkum cobber or I'm a Wombat's jockstrap ( and other vulgar oz phrases. }{

She'll be right sport and a right hand drive to boot.

What about personal import then?

Anybody?

Hmm? 8)

At $ 55 000 (£22 500) new, it wont't break the bank either. :o

Oooh.. Me want one of those!

I bet those would actually sell quite well here in Europe. Perfectly cautious styling, yet elegant.
Is it RWD?

Edit:

Looks kind of like a sleeker S class Merc.

Yeah, the Australians are sensible and logical and, like us Brits, drive on the CORRECT side of the road i.e. the Left ;D

If the Scorp had had a similar front end look to the Fairlane back in 1994 it might have been a different story saleswise.

And while I am biased about what we have on this site they have an OK one of their own.
