Mmm, 18 inch wheels look a bit too big, I do like the dash though.

Someone spent a lot of time and money on the extras.

Saw this for real wednesday while working in Bristol, The paint looks nice and deep 8)
18's are small, 19 inch is what you need ;D

It seems like a lot of love & cash has gone into that Scorp....so could well be a real good one.
As for selling it due to second child arriving......it's a shame,... but family comes first ;)

If it is as good as the description says, then I hope he gets a good price

P.S....not sure I could part with my beloved MK1 Granny if another little'un came along :)

Really not sure about the wheels, however love the chrome window surrounds with the tinted windows and think that exhaust would look much better on my cossie! I can see the green eyed monster popping his head round the door!!

i love the silver dash and door panels, the design of the wheels doesnt suit the car though, unlike richards 19's ;)

wonder id thats a dash kit or a spray paint job? some white dials would finish it off a treat

heres another btw

The first one Highlander listed is a nice looking scorp. I wish I had that in the states.

Are Scorps in the States the same Danny?
I can imagine a Scorp with a 302 Mustang lump in it ;D............I'm drooling :P

The bug eye'd Scorp never made it over this side of the pond mate. To this day the Scorp is THE best car i have ever owned. It still brings tears to my eye's knowing my beloved Scorpio is sat rusting away on my grandmothers driveway in Leeds :( American cars are nice but nothing can touch the Scorp!

I bet you can get a lovely Dodge Challenger for a fraction of the price it would cost over here though.
