From 1987 to 1996 Ford and VW in Brazil have made some Frankstein cars, VW's engine under Ford's hood, i.e. But there is one good car, Ford Versailles, that inherited this Scorpio dashboard design and steering weel. As in Brazil we didn't have the Scorpio, now I understand "where" they've got some tricks of this video european car! Great video, congrats!
One of the comfitabalest seats I ever sat in the Scorpio, the leather seat was like something else. I remember these well, had the VM motoroi engine in
I couldn't agree more. I had the 2.9i V6 auto and although it wasn't the quickest thing around, it was a sheer pleasure to drive and it sounded nice too. It needed way too much welding for the mot so I got a mk2 Mondeo. Let me tell you, they were light years apart. I still miss it 10 years later
Hi i didn t knew about the channel till yestarday and that s because i take the task of restart a Chevrolet Chevette (the brazilian version) of 1989 that was 3 years stoped in my garaje. A good battery a spit of fuel in the carburator an after four trys it started! So this is my new favorite channe,l congrats from Uruguay!
This just reminded me that the Ford Scorpio also came in Diesel engine form in Europe, (I’m not sure if we had that option in the U.K.?) I like it because it’s a beautiful car and with that extra economy too! 👍👍👍
I love the work you do on these old ones just to get them started up? So what do you do once you get them running? Sell them? Salvage them? Repair them?
+Flexiny I love doing stuff like this, if I ever won the lottery I'd fill a few acres of field with hundreds of cars and just play about with them all day. And a good workshop to tinker too :-)
thats because your people mostly bought reliable cars for a harsh climate like a saab or a volvo not these poor electrical blighted rust buckets mass produced to poor quality by "septic henry"
Я так понимаю тачьку забрали на запчасти. Вот ето качество. И комплектация ЧИА, ранних годов выпуска с листвой побокам в кузове хечбек. Просто мечта.... Столько простояла, а множество электроприборов работоспособны! Люблю Форды, а особенно Скорпионы
These cars were huge inside (hatchback version were the best as interior space.. they are some kind of living room). Except of camshaft wearing at 4cyl engines and big rubber joint on the front wishbone, there was no problems at all. That diesel were very sluggish.
The interior was a bit Adam's family in mine, a grim purple colour but it was a pleasure to drive. I always wanted the Cosworth version but never had the money :(
@@dawid8844 were automatic transmission ONLY and that make to be .. a not very fast scorpio as you would expect. Way faster and fun to drive would be a (light) turbo conversion for a 2.0 dohc or even for the old 2.8 ohv, any of them coupled with that 5gears manual transmission.
Nice Video. That battery you're using is a real hero. I looked up the spec's on the engine and you could almost say the starter motor has more horse power than the engine does. 69hp is not a lot seeing's the car is 1340kg would be very slow.
I am absolutely enthusiastic! This car is so rare. Is it a licence-built Peugeot engine or a genuine Ford unit? I remember they had a non-turbocharged direct injection 2.5 engine but that was in the Ford Transit.
I've had a 1.6 Sierra sitting 5 years in grass n under trees. started well after 10 mins and ran perfect. Sadly i scrapped it after a month. Had 466.000kms on it
I remember when this shape came out, I always preferred the Mk2 Grannie.. It was much like when the ‘jelly mould’ Sierra replaced the MkV Cortina, there was plenty of tutting lol
My dad use to own one of those scorpios back in a day when I was a teenager in Ukraine . I use to steel it from garage and take girls for a ride in it... on day cop caught me but he was stupid and did not understood that it was not my car (It was same last name in dads registration and my driver license only different initials) those were the days.... love the car - it was HUGE inside
Never was as fond of the Mk3 Granny Scorpio as the Mk2 but they were still super nice cars. My Uncle used to have a white J reg Ghia with all the bells and whistles. Lovely car...until he scrapped it in part exchange for a Honda Accord. 😒
I have a 1987 2.9 Granada Scorpio. It's like an old pair of slippers. Incredibly comfy but not so good when cornering !! Still, it has electric windows, sunroof, wing mirrors and front AND rear seats !! (YES !! electric REAR seats !!) I keep on top of the maintanance. it's had new sills and a new battery tray and a handful of other bits and bobs.
90% of engine wear takes place at start up an of u rev the hell outa the engine that won't help longivity. U my friend have helped knacker an engine up.
Dino Dragovic Those are leak-off pipes from the injectors. Basically return lines for excess fuel. The old ones had probably perished and were leaking fuel onto the engine.
Scorpa oli mugav liikur... olen omanud kahte sellise kerega. Üks neist oli sama mootriga 2,5D (Peugeotilt pärit diisel) ilma turbota...suht uimane ja kuumakartlik ja teine oli 2,8i bensukas, sellega oli juba ägedam lasta, aga janune oli. Kokkuvõttes hea masin kuid kahjuks kui pidevalt roostetõrjet ei tee siis saab kere otsa :D
you prolly dont care but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
Remember that back in 90s my dad had one these, once we had a topic about cars and he told me that Scorpios has the best rear seats for banging girls, ever since he told me that, I look different to these cars, I like them even more + he was right about back seats and specious interior. 😁
6 yrs ago ...! Ford & Mazda normally not heavy maintenance break down , just the wear n tear items , such as fuel hoses , caburator gasket , water pump , tyre bearing ...! Still beauty just need cleaning ...! i wonder wheres the vehicle TODAY ...! 22.06.2021
Keyser Soze indeed you are. Check Wikipedia, there is a very good page on these cars, including a list of engines fitted. This is clearly a non turbo diesel which leaves only one option. 🙂
I always loved the first Scorpio! Enormous and futuristic. And what a cool name!
why it failed?
@@marguskiis7711 it died with the MK2 version, where it got all curvy style. Nor even I like the style so it was quite a fail in the Scorpio name
old cars man... use it for years no fucking problem. todays cars, 1 little bump and its 5k $ for repair
Thats right
if there ever was zombie apocalypse, and you needed a car, you two would be safe!
+omar khan Yes.. :D
.
we recognize the 90s with this car Ford will never die 🇺🇸❤️
Never
90s cars will never let you down
Or indeed, 80's cars, like this one.
Better generation according engines....these days they do not build them like that anymore.
@@sm7091bs Yeah, and thats a good thing.
Except Scorpio and Sierra are considered Ford's greatest mistakes of all time.
run around or desert you
old fords never die
they just rot away very quickly
most are dust after rust lol
Peugeot diesel engine 😉
yeah, you wrong, i have an old scorpio first gen 1985, non ghia, it died after running on LPG.
Thats true, my Ford Focus is 20 years old and runs like new! Love Ford
good battery
My brother have one V6 Ford Scorpio 2.9 24V cosworth, I love it!!
1988 Ford haven't turn for 4 years long time got it running about time awesome mechanic men love this video keep up the good work friend bless you
Хорошее авто из эпохи где было качество и на нём не экономили, как сейчас!!!!
Это точно) Было у меня три скорпа, седан переходной, лупатый, и хэтч переходной, хорошие машины

Good battery, smoking plus + accu cables at 2:13. Keep those cold start video's coming.
Моя первая машина, Скорпио 1986, 2 литра. Покупал в 1995, 6 лет служил верой и правдой. Потом поменял на Мерседес 124. Но это совсем другая история...
I love the sound :) Good quality on your videos!
***** Thank you! Focusing isn't always correct. :D
We use manual focus.
I`m driving my scorpio every day. It is 1990 2.9V6.
U got a nice mean machine in your hands, 😎
@@rajrenuka6666 mean ?? you mean a money pit marque lol
Good man. How’s the rust doing?
Cossi??
@@rampantram1 Money pit? These are much more reliable than the junk they sell nowadays
Loud from the outside but quiet in the inside. Good sound proofing used by Ford.
So is it quiet or loud from the inside?
Riku Savolainen seems loud inside to me.
@@PhilOsGarage it´s quiet for that kind of engine. The indenor diesels are extremely loud and rattly engines.

British-mechanic good plan :D
FORD SCORPIO is forever !!!
I just love much this beautiful sounds ❤❤❤
In Sweden I’ve not seen one Ford scorpio in years but it’s a great car and a comfortable one too.
thats because your people mostly bought reliable cars for a harsh climate like a saab or a volvo not these poor electrical blighted rust buckets mass produced to poor quality by "septic henry"
these videos remind me to these Davidsfarm cold start videos. including prime for a good time :)
Yes I remember Davidsfarm, it was fun. But was it that he was jailed because of touching kids? Or was it something else?

I'd love to have an old Ford Scorpio
i sell you my old scorpio for 620$. 1985, mk1, non ghia, it needs work at the engine.
Sounds very quiet inside considering how loud it is from the outside.
Oh yes. I'm just dreaming that my Sierra would as quiet as this.
If you notice the rev counter red lines at 6000 rpm.... Either the dash was replaced or it used to have a petrol engine in it from the factory .
Nice Video. That battery you're using is a real hero. I looked up the spec's on the engine and you could almost say the starter motor has more horse power than the engine does. 69hp is not a lot seeing's the car is 1340kg would be very slow.
They were horribly slow from experience
Dallas Dorrington horrible slow but fuel consumption is a joke
Actually I think that engine gave around 100 bhp?
There’s doesn’t seem to be too much wrong with that luxury Scorpio? I wonder why it was left by that path??
I am absolutely enthusiastic! This car is so rare. Is it a licence-built Peugeot engine or a genuine Ford unit? I remember they had a non-turbocharged direct injection 2.5 engine but that was in the Ford Transit.
So pleased to see this !
An engine you could repair yourself without all this bloody ECM rubbish
1988, the Car is the same age as me, 35 Years! Great car
I've had a 1.6 Sierra sitting 5 years in grass n under trees. started well after 10 mins and ran perfect. Sadly i scrapped it after a month. Had 466.000kms on it
:/
Sad
Why did you scrapped it, when it runs perfect?
my father still has this one, around the same mileage 280k km, needs valve seal replacement, and will do another 200k easily.

I never saw a wisard before. Respectufully from France.
And it turned out very nice

Only a few of these cars left in Uk ..
A friend of mine had one back in the 90s, used to stink of diesel inside leaked everywhere. Never let him down though

I can remember that about 70% of the cars here were Ford Scorpio's, Sierra's, Escorts and Granada's. Good times
Its a shame most ended up as fleet cars or taxi's. Drivers thrashed the hell out of them.
bloody scrappage scheme lost us so many good cars

Tim its a Peugeot engine
Sounds nice
Satisfying good old Ford

Who else was waiting for the sleeve on his jacket to get wrapped around the fan belt??
I was going to grow some sunflowers next year but i think i will copy you and grow some Scorpios instead
what did you do with those pipes at approx. 4 m?
thanks - great work btw. Cheers
Dino Dragovic Those are leak-off pipes from the injectors. Basically return lines for excess fuel. The old ones had probably perished and were leaking fuel onto the engine.
Is this a original diesel ghia with a/c and trip computer? If it is, I'm very interested, how trip computer calculates fuel
Me too.
A lot of car for your money back in the day, very comfy and plenty of toys. Shame they love to rust.
