The Appeal
When Cosworth got hold of Ford’s flagship luxury executive car, the Scorpio, they transformed it into a far more exciting and performance-orientated car, with Cosworth power and suspension improvements.
The Scorpio now delivered all the expected luxuries and comforts of the big ford saloon, but with performance to match their German rivals, with the Ultima level of trim bringing the best of everything and being the most sought-after Scorpio model these days.
The History and Paperwork
- First registered in 1995 in the Isle of Man
- Good service history with regular maintenance
- Registered in the UK in 2001
- Last owner for 22 years
- V5c present
- MOT expires in April 2023
- Owner’s manuals and Service book
- 4 sets of keys
Bought from a close friend and first owner the car has been only used for light leisure driving these past 22 years. Regularly serviced and MOT’d throughout his ownership the car is a nice and original example of the Cosworth powered Ford Scorpio.
The Interior
- All original interior
- Electric windows, and sunroof
- Air conditioning
- Cruise control
- Electric memory driver’s seat
Inside the spacious and executive level cabin is in great condition showing very little obvious signs of its use over the years and the wood inserts help to accentuate its style and comfort.
All the electrics and switchgear all work fine and the air-con could probably do with a re-gassing but that’s about it, with everything presenting very well.
The Exterior
- Original paintwork
- Rare Aubergine colour
- Additional spotlights
The Scorpio has a refined and quiet look about it, with no obvious clues to its performance potential, and no huge spoilers or go faster stripes. The original paintwork has picked up quite a few scratches and light damage over the years but there’s nothing major or any bubbling paint to report, but some TLC certainly wouldn’t hurt.
The Mechanics
- Good service history
- Regularly serviced
- Very few miles since last service in 2021
The car drives very well and has proved to be very reliable and a joy to own and drive these last 22 years. Serviced every year with all consumable parts being changed as required over the years this is a nice example of the Cosworth powered and engineered Ford Scorpio, ready to go.
It was completely under sealed in 2013 for long term protection at which time it also had the radiator replaced.
The Summary
A great and very useable classic from the Nineties with executive level trim and equipment and that extra performance courtesy of Cosworth Engineering.
