Title: ultima badge
Post by big_timer on Jun 7^th, 2009, 11:46pm

do all ultimas have a small black shieild (badge) saying ultima located on the gearstick panel,just below the ashtray?
is this another way of knowing its an ultima apart from the rear door panel.
im just enquiring because whilst cleaning my beauty i noticed mine had one.

yep they seem to.

Ghia's have the Ghia badge although not all appear to have it

Also an Ultima will have the drivers memory seat switch and the dipping passenger mirror

I have Ghia badges, but still every possible gear and specs of Ultima (except leather which was matter of choose in Ultima)

Yes. And also parking radar, Electrochromatic drivers mirror, 4 airbags, traction control, 6 cd changer...

Title: Re: ultima badge
Post by Highlander on Jun 10^th, 2009, 8:49pm

Could be a Ghia with all the options pack but i didnt think you could get the dipping reversing mirror/memory seats outwith Ultima Spec (possibly added later by an owner)?

Can you pm me your vin number and i'll check?

And I have no physical evidence of mine being an Ultima anywhere, no badge no logo, nothing. But I can't name any Ultima option my car hasn't got. Were all 24V's Ultimas, hence no logos? Also, never saw a scorp-ad in Germany ever mentioning other trim levels than Ghia, yet they were generously equipped.

When I bought a beemer 7 or so years ago, there were quite a lot of badge options you could add for no charge.

Only very few of the ultimas had the ultima logo fitted on the rear 1/4 panel AFAIK its documented on the main site somewhere.

Not all 24v's were Ultimas. The 24v was available certainly as a Ghia and Ghia-X (not sure about the early Executive models but I think they were too)

As far as I remember, the early Scorpios (94, 95 etc) only had the "Scorpio" logo on the rear doors. Models after that seemed to have the model number as well; Ghia, Ghia-X etc.

No factory Scorpio had any mention of the Cosworth engine on the outside of the cars and probably because of the spate of thefts of Escort Cosworths which were around at the time of launch in 94 ;D
