Pretty sure Coleman-Milne marketed the hearse version of the Granada as the Cardinal and the limo version as the Dorchester.
Nice car but a bit on the pricey side IMHO.
Could be useful for someone for transporting surf boards though.

Several years ago I saw an old but immaculate Ford Zodiac hearse in Looe ( Cornwall ) which had been painted white used by someone who had a surf shop.

don't you just love the fact that they have left the sticker showing you shouldn't put a baby seat on the front seats because of the airbag???

They are also selling a few other MK9's as well!

Coleman milne Direct .... must have a lot of trade in's or the industry is dead this time of the year!! ;)

Mmmmm, 1999 , could this be the youngest Scorpio model in the land ?

..or has it been re-registered ?

Hell's teeth............ £25 000 :o

Not being an undertaker, maybe that's a real snip.

Coleman Milne probably buy the cars direct from Ford unregistered and the conversion could then take several weeks before selling on and the vehicle being classed as first registered. ???
Still think it is a bit expensive though...mmm, what could I get with £25k - a whole fleet of classics ;D

No there are a few late registered Scorpios out there, including a couple of W reg's and a Y reg belonging to a forum member in Carlisle ;)

Not seen any 57 plates though ;)
