Another porblem i found, the heated windscreen washer jets dont work, they need replacing, £11.40 from fords

Looks pretty hideous, especially with the wood interior, but for £250 = Bargain.

sushhh

my gf likes them so i wont argu

Does she drive it as well, the padding might be good for protecting the back of shoe from scuffs Im thinking maybe .

Did you buy it at auction or I guess it must be a private sale, someone else would have nabbed that at auction.

seems to be running ok, had it about a week, drove it up to manchester the other day, only thing that needs attention soon is the wheel bearing, priced at £30

130k miles

What's it drive like? Just thinking a 2.0L in that size of car must seem a bit lethargic, ok, it's no sports car, but a little get up and go on occasions is always nice.

jackoh · 26 Mar 2007 at 21:53

Bangernomics at its finest, westwood would be proud!

Tesla · 26 Mar 2007 at 21:55

The best car bargain I have ever seen.

Except for Clarksons £1 car and that Exige that went for 50p.

its not quick of the mark at all, but it isnt slow, 0 to 60 is about 10 seconds i think

hittman · 26 Mar 2007 at 21:58

bargain. my ps3 cost more than that.

very nice find.

danza · 26 Mar 2007 at 21:58

Crikey it's hideous!

But I'd have it for £250 no qualms whatsoever! What an utter bargain! Looks like it needs lowering (whether it actually needs it or not is debatable) and the pinstripe removing, but otherwise :thumbsup:

£250? I still can't get over it. Is there anything looking iffy on it that might cause it to fail it's next MOT?

What were the original wheels like?

Tesla · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:04

It's only the lupo front end which looks silly on the scorpio. The side profile is cool, like a Jack Bauer car.

Will_3rd · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:05

very nice find for £250, loving the fake wood on the steering wheel

Locky · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:07

Gota agree, the front end on these Scorpios is U G L Y, nothing worse?

O wait there is fiat multipla

gobbo · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:11

Wow, £250 thats a bargain.

I'd buy one for that much just to strip it, weld up the diff and tramp drift it.

Funny you should say that - they always remind me of an FBI, X Files style car.

Looks a like a right bargain

cheets64 · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:26

It does look very american.

James_N · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:31

Thats probably an even better bargain than my £100 volvo

Fair play!

wylde · 26 Mar 2007 at 22:55

haha the wheels look gash.
