Welcome to our Ford Scorpio website
This web site is designed to assist owners and potential
owners in looking after their Ford Scorpio. It caters purely for the 1995 and
later Ford Scorpio in all it's variants but not the earlier Ford Granada
Scorpio. Throughout mainland Europe Ford referred to the vehicle that we in the
UK know as the Ford Granada as the Scorpio just to confuse everyone - if you
require information about that particular car then we recommend the
Granada Enthusiasts Club
site.

| The Scorpio
was introduced by Ford on 1st October 1994 and it's perhaps an understatement
that it didn't go down too well. The Press had a field day with it's unusual
front end styling and in the Saloon version at least it's bustle rear end.
However Ford had always been leading the way in styling back to the launch of
the Ford Sierra that came in for similar criticism but went on to become a
classic design and accepted by almost everyone. Things actually came full circle
as Quentin Wilson from the BBC's Top Gear suggested that the Scorpio was his
most recommended second hand Executive car purchase - and who are we to argue? |

Targeted directly at the Executive market (£20k-£30k) Ford wanted to take on the
fleet of BMW, Audi and Mercedes vehicles parked in the Management parking spaces
of European companies. In this respect they failed miserably but that is our
gain because what they created was one of the all time great Ford cars that
everyone loved to hate. Find someone who actually sat in one or drove one
and you will find a convert. Remember that even if you don't like the way they
look - you can't see it from the driving seat!
