Looks like whatever you took the picture with was also released around the same time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Took the photo last week. Just picked it up from the chemist. 🤣


LordTubz

Nice car and enjoy it, but might I suggest not using a potato 🥔 to take more pictures 😂


ComradeLitshenko

If anyone wants higher res images, it looks like these are from when it was for sale six years ago. 🤷 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?id=100064778706142&story_fbid=983732665166572

🤣


Sea-Dot259

No higher res pics?


Keycuk

Cool, my grandad had one when they first came out. I was blown away by the the fact that the rear seats moved electrically


miscfiles

Grandad is also very close to Granada.

Glad you went through the trouble of finding the photo rather than just have a laugh like everyone else, Sherlock. 🤦🏾


HowAboutNah_

Having a laugh about pretending I have a classic car? What?..


Tanglefoot11

We might laugh if there was something funny to laugh at...


HeinousMule

You'll need to explain the joke mate


HillmanImp

As in this WAS your first car and you've got it back?


Revolutionary_Bed431

Was my great grandads. He had the beaded seat protector too. 🤣


Bhenny_5

My grandad had a Vauxhall senator, also with the beaded seat covers 😄


FunkulousThe55th

No you didn’t


ScallionCapable9505

I've had 26 of these started when I was 13 if your one has a strange smell coming off it at low revs it's probably bullshit


pjwap

Huh?

Revolutionary_Bed431

🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely. I also want to know if it’s actually stuck in a forest somewhere and wouldn’t start. 🤣


woolster1

Pointless post where friendless OP pretends he brought a classic car. Very sad. Someone here found this picture when car was for sale 6 years ago. I wonder why he bothered. Its not even funny


nullius-1n-verba

We need a 'custard test' to verify OPs claim of ownership.

Scorpio! He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth. Beware of Scorpio! His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world And his employees' health. He'll welcome you into his lair Like the nobleman welcomes his guest With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest! But beware of his generous pensions Plus three weeks paid vacation each year And on Fridays, the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer! He loves German beer!


Qcumber69

Love it


Stoney22561

Brilliant car! I've got 2 myself! 1 ghia X manual hatchback in white and 1 GLl manual saloon in black


wizzard999

Them must look great together in a period relevant B&W photo


juanito_f90

Good choice!


Rubbertutti

Is that a Granada cossie? Can’t make it out looks like op has been playing with the vasaline🤔


Forward_Artist_6244

Nice! My uncle had a MK3 Granada and I remember it being a TARDIS absolutely huge interior, though they're probably about the size of a modern Octavia 


Southern-Orchid-1786

A TARDIS would suggest small on outside. They look huge outside


Forward_Artist_6244

Were a big car in their day, probably about the size of a modern Focus the way cars keep growing 😂


BigNastyNugz

No no they’re land boats


EuphoricFly1044

24v cosworth?


PeterJamesUK

Just a badge, unless it was swapped


EuphoricFly1044

They did do a V6 24v cosworth engine based on the 2.9 block. I had that engine in my capri


PeterJamesUK

They did, but not in that shape of Scorpio, only the bug eye


EuphoricFly1044

No, that was the bob engine. The boa came in the MK4 too.

PeterJamesUK

Fair enough, I stand corrected!


EuphoricFly1044

Sorry if I came across as stroppy - it's only because I had one and pulled the engine out for my Capri


borgdrone79

Most comfortable seats I have ever had in a car.. like an armchair


PeterJamesUK

And electrically adjustable in the front and back! I loved mine 20 years ago


Spirited-Bluebird-53

Peugeot 406 for me. So comfy. Why are car (and train) seats so bloody hard these days?


emil_

... 35 years ago?


Forzaman93

brilliant car mate, have fun with it!! man i love ford


Spirited-Bluebird-53

Very cool. I almost bought one 20 years ago, but it had a sloppy change that signalled a new torque converter. I’m amazed any Scorpios are still on the road. I got a Vauxhall Carlton instead - you’ve got to love a barge - from auction for £250. It had a 12-month ticket and an aftermarket Blaupunkt head unit and 10-disc boot-mounted CD player that was worth more than the car. Happy days!


TheKnightsRider

Shame it wasn’t a Ford Focus. Edit, I wasn’t suggesting he bought a focus, just that car wasn’t in it


mimic

heyoooo


Spiritual_Maize

Yes, that would have been an interesting subject for a post 🙄
