More useful info - again, "thanks" to this helpful group.
I appreciate no really meaningful value can be given without seeing it (and there is a neighbour or two who could perhaps help with a viewing if someone is seriously interested) but even the suggested £500 minimum from Scorpio_Mike confirms vague guesses that we had made and gives hope that money could come in (rather than pay for scrapping) as well as finding it a good home.
Simmo - thanks for that link. I did follow it up, but hesitated when it needed cash to join up. We might revisit that later but we are still in the stage of obtaining probate.

If you look at the link and go to Contacts it gives the details for the Chairman:-
Vic Hillier Mobile 07748967331
Email victor.hillier2@ntlworld.com
Why not contact him and see what he says?

Thank you to those expressing an interest in our Granada Scorpio and also to those providing helpful suggestions. We sold the car on Saturday to a man buying it as a project for his son on his mechanics course - a cause my father-in-law would have very much related to.
The buyer, another son, and a grandson, pumped up the flat tyre, generally looked around, paid up, completed the paperwork and left for home.
The buyer returned the next day (in pouring rain), recharged the battery, put easing oil in various places etc and later turned it on - the engine simply purred as it ticked over. Although he watched it carefully, there were no signs of problems and the transporter man, who arrived later, drove it onto the truck. The brakes also worked a treat and there was a full tank of petrol.
We are delighted it has gone to a good cause, not to mention receiving the cash and recovering space in the garage allowing us to "process" the piles of inheritance / junk and have been promised photos from the son as he strips it all down to replace fluids and anything perished or rusted.
Thanks once again to you all.

Thank you for the update. Whilst not one of 'our' cars I'm sure members would be interested to see the results of the buyers work in due course.
Glad to have helped.

This is great news. Another piece of history saved whilst helping someone with their career and the money lol. So everyone is happy and I am glad for you all. Like Simmo says it is a close relation of our cars and so we would be interested in seeing the pictures of it's restoration and maybe give some good advice if the new owners needed it.
