One of the first truly reliable Fords. My father put over 240,000 miles on a 2.0 Mk3 with very few problems. The Cortinas he used previously were almost worn out by 100,000 miles.
This was a nice looking car and very useful, Jackie got the best one! Pity the next generation Scorpio was such a shocker in the looks department, even with a bit of Cosworth under the bonnet
I’m older than my years. 32 and I’ve had 6 and currently a Dorchester limo variant. Favourite car of all time. Comparing it with cars of its day it’s held up very well
Loving the bricks loaded out right on the edge of the pavement by the vest wearing brickie as Frank drives past. Ah the 80's, when nobody gave a shit 😁
Jackie should be in a Cosworth hammering the hell out of it being chased by the rozzers that would be much better! Imagine putting a Formula 1 world champion into a new car and his aim is just to be sensible and bore the pants of everyone.
"See you on Tuesday" as Frank heads off for an innocent few days away in his big car with wipe clean leather seats.
Jackie saying it doesn’t feel like a big car... who is he trying to kid, he can barely see over the steering wheel! 😂
"You've got total flexibility for the position you want. Watch as I do a line off of the dashboard!"
Gorgeous cars. I never liked them back in the day, but they've aged so well. I'll have that 4x4.
I expect Frank Bough really did have a party in the back seat.
Bough describing his Welsh wife and thinking the sound system is Japanese is Partridge at its purest. First class.
I just clicked for that policemans nose
Curb crawling in Oxford, looking for some high class action?
Saw one of these the other day parked next to a new mini. They were the same size...

had one in the mid 90s F reg 2.9 scorpio auto, yet to sit in a more comfortable car.

I had a 2.0ltr Ghia and a 1994 2.0ltr Granada Scorpio. Such amazing cars! I'd love to have a late Granada Scorpio now.
I shudder to think what happened in the back of that car
I’ve got to admit that Scorpio looks very comfortable. Seats are a like set of settees.

Jackie Stewart talking about the Ford Scorpio, not a Porsche not a Ferrari, The Scorpio
That's my favourite visually model by Ford of all times!!!
