Nice, bet that thing will shift! i dont see many scorpios going about these days.

That seems like a very good price, considering the performance.

one hell of an ugly sleeper though

I would say you found a heap, let it sleep I say, and if it wont kill it, kill it NOW!

I rekon it would be a bit of a money pit to be honest. Nearly 200,00 miles on a turbocharged engine.....sorry twin turbocharged! I bet it's becoming unreliable so it's getting sold.

I doubt an ancient 250bhp lump coupled up to an auto box in a barge that size is going to be *that* quick.

I never really got the point of a sleeper anyway unless you go around like a chav with penis size issues racing everyone at the traffic lights to "surprise" them then go post "you should have seen their faces" on an internet forum.

I doubt its that good tbh, although the ad is "4 days old" it was on PH a few weeks / months back.

I'd have thought it would have been snapped up unless it was and whoever bought it discovered Scuzi's view - not to mention fuel consumption, which was crap on the 2.9i Scorpio - I know I had one - Twin turbo's would hardly help with ones gentle use of the right foot.....

190k miles? I bet its ripe to let go any day now!
