Car park of DREAMS!

Good buy. I like Mk3 Granny/Scorpios very much.

Sorry chaps no photos of hearty breakfasts and random bus stops in the middle of no where...
 
I have bought this 1989 Granada Scorpio 2.9i Auto from a guy a mile down the road, I wanted something cheap and comfy to bum about in and knowing this Granada was a mile down the road for sale I couldn't resist, especially as I managed to get classic insurance for £155 a year fully comp! (Thanks Micrashed)
 
It has electric everything and amazingly everything still works, electric seats front and rear, windows, mirrors, sunroof, c/locking etc also the old antenna phone is still in the car for extra shiteness...The car has just had the speedo sensor, rocker cover gaskets, battery and alternator replaced, it has MOT to Feb 2015 and 2 months tax left in the screen, I paid £450.
 
This photo flatters it somewhat but its not a bad looking old granny overall.
 

 
Interior is ok, a little tired but very comfy. Check out the dog and bone.

 
Doesn't appear to be using any oil or water, its starts, pulls and drives pretty well, auto box changes up and down with no fuss.
 
I will see how it goes but this will just be my weekend run around for the foreseeable.

One day, I aspire to have a Volvo garden of my very own
