N359EOO if you want to check it out, at a local garage please ask for details, would consider selling complete car as is if you want to discuss.

Update
Looks like "the banger death" as Gozz would put it for the poor ol' cossie.
Back to the worth of a Scorpio again I suppose - not an ounce of interest here or elsewhere even as a bucket of spares  sad days I never wanted it to end this way!
I suppose if it was a BL bucket of s**t made by Brummies in their T break it would have a large following as all the dead brands of that nationalised bunch have large followings and many replacement parts easily available, probably 'cos they need 'em all to replace the rubbish of the originals 
Really cheesed off as many of you know I have saved very many (including PJs beloved "Movvy" which rolls on now as my son's cherished car) Scorpios and spent quite a bit doing so, BUT they are great cars and I would not have anything else for my own transport, be it a 2.3 or cosworth - its still the BEST LARGE CAR Ford ever produced.
Owners on here seem to be falling like flies lately, sad tales of cars and owners parting company, very little happening on a possible meeting of Scorpios despite a few down south with me, I shall continue to "fly the flag" and pee all over the bmws and owdies (now worse than beemys for s**t drivers and tailgateing I notice) when ever and whereever I go.

OH Well, 
Sold it, would say thanks for the interest but there has been nil., even as a heap of spares interest zilch, so who's buying the engines, diffs, calipers, radiators, Cossie engine covers, racks, seats, mirrors, lights & etc off the bay and other sites? and probably trying to put in crap cars by Ford and others!
As Peter said you can only sell a Scorpio for little money, and if petrol ends we will all have todrive s*** - not to worry still have a spare and two on the road -a Scorpio is for life not for Xmas

Roy.
I'm still trying to think how I could convert my Jaguar to accept Scorpio upholstery! The Scorpio was so much more comfortable. Problem would be I'd loose the height and other adjustments. Don't care about the memory.

Peter, I can find seats if you need them-let me know.
Would you just want just the fronts or the full set (bearing in mind the "full set" would include the Scorpio they are fitted in)? Jess Joe King
Movvy is still loved, running well & in fine fettle with Alex flying the flag!
