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 Willson 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? Today the Scorpio makes an ideal choice as a secondhand vehicle - fully loaded and engineered to last they are available at half the cost of a comparable BMW or Mercedes - and a lot more exciting.	URGENT! Does your Scorpio have it's battery cover? If not then you risk serious and expensive damage by water running down into the fusebox and shorting out the electrics. Visit your Ford Main Dealer today and order one - approx £8+vat	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! Whether you want the slower but more economical 2.0 or the great all-rounder 2.3 there is a model to suit you and your pocket. If you really want to experience the car then we cannot recommend the 2.9 24V highly enough - powered by Cosworth, driven by You.
