Never seen it out and about.

What a lovely crisp design that was. I noticed a Scorpio in my local Tesco, just before lockdown in March. Can't see why we hated it so much back then, as it is better than most modern designs!

Probably 104/2254. 2254 is a car not seen since 2013, but the last UK owner told me it was sold to man who was going to ship it to New Zealand. The old photos I have of 2254 match the car in the photo, except for the wheels but they are often changed.

I had been told a while ago that one was imported, but no other details sorry. It was spotted by my nephew purely by chance.

Hi folks,
I can confirm that the C-V8 above is indeed 104/2254 - I've just looked up the NZ rego. It says border check was done Aug 2010 but not first registered here until May 2018. Very low mileage per year - e.g. record shows only 93 miles driven in 2020.
