Title: just to say hello to all
Post by masterchef on Jul 10^th, 2009, 12:29pm

hiya to all..just joined and thought i'd poke my nose in and say hello......after making a trike with my last 2.9 scorpio a couple of years ago ive just taking ownership of my own 1998 ultima scorpio td estate which i dont plan on cutting up.yet..however im a tad dissapointed by the lack of toys on it..no heated seats,no sunroof,no cruise control,it doesnt even seem to have a boot release catch in the front??..without sounding like clarkson it isnt as smooth or executive as i imagined either(could be cause its a diesel)....having said this there is stacks of room in the back.the leather seats are very comfy and it is nice to drive....so i guess i'll be keeping it for quite a while yet before the grinder gets to it......anyway i do love the scorpio as a whole and was wondering if mine is a basic model or if everyones is the same?

hi there!

sounds like it is executive ;) executive was the lowest trim version on Scorpio... ;D

no wonder you're disappointed... it sounds like it has max 10% of the gadgets that were available... :/

anyway it's always possible to add them on your own :) happy motoring and welcome.

Hello and welcome :)

The Ultima part refers to the trim level not the model.

Doesnt sound like its an Ultima, although if it is a genuine 98 it wont be an Executive either, lowest trim level by then was the Ghia then Ghia X then Ultima.

pm me your reg number and i'll check it, is it an auto?

p.s. the Scorpio never had a boot release in the front ;)

Yours is a June 97 built Ghia, colour is Cuirass.

So it is the base spec, unusually specified with only electric front windows as all 4 windows were electric as standard from September 96??

So... what are you missing?? :)

climate control
cruise control
CD multichanger?
headlight washers
front foglights
heated mirrors
dipping passenger side mirror reversing function?
photochromatic rear view mirror
puddle lights?
reversing sensors
interior map lights
heated from seats
fully electric front seats
memory seat function
traction control
sunroof
fuel computer
heated front screen
illuminated passenger sunvisor mirror?
alloy wheels
passenger airbag?

anything else?
