Hello to all. As you can tell I am a newjack to the forum. Yesterday I bought a 1996 Ford Scorpio ultima 2.5 TD (manual) for £ 50!!! Yes just £50 :o. It's in quite good nick for the price:- (no T&T), The rear arches are just starting to show the first signs of rust, a small ding in the bootlid and N/S/R wing, needs a new biochromatic (or whatever its called ???) interior mirror, the aircon needs regassing, it needs a good service and a few small other odds 'n sods. Im looking to have the car back on the road by the end of summer (as I have 4 other cars on the go - Xantia Td, Rover 418 TD, Mondeo ghia and a Mk4 Escort) as these things take time ;D.

Oh yeah and its still got the CD player and autochanger in the car!

Me I am well pleased with it - Craig.

Hi Craig,

welcome to the site :D

Sounds like you have got a bit of a bargain to say the least!

Keep an eye out on eBay for photochromatic mirror, they come up now and then :)

Have a look at this:

in the meantime.

Got any pics of the beauty?

Cheers :)
