The Ford Scorpio, launched in 1985, was a mid-size executive car produced by Ford Europe. It replaced the Ford Granada and was intended to compete with cars like the Opel Omega, the Renault 25, and the Toyota Cressida. The 1987 model year saw the introduction of the first significant update to the Scorpio, including updated styling, a new range of engines, and improved interior trim. The Scorpio was offered in both sedan and estate body styles, and a wide variety of engine options were available, ranging from 1.8-liter petrol engines to powerful 2.9-liter V6s. The Scorpio was noted for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and relatively advanced technology for the time, including features like a digital instrument cluster and an optional ABS braking system.
Despite its strengths, the Scorpio never quite achieved the sales success of its rivals. Some criticized its styling as rather bland, and the car was generally overshadowed by the more popular Ford Sierra, which was marketed as a sportier alternative. The Scorpio however did achieve considerable success in the UK, often being seen as the preferred choice of fleet managers. Production of the first generation Scorpio ended in 1994, after which the model name was resurrected for a new, larger car which bore little resemblance to the original. The 1987 Ford Scorpio, while not a commercial triumph, remains a significant part of Ford's European history and is a testament to the company's commitment to producing high-quality and technologically advanced vehicles. Today, these cars are becoming increasingly popular with enthusiasts seeking a well-built and spacious classic car with a unique blend of comfort and performance. A 1987 Ford Scorpio Workshop Service Repair Manual is an essential tool for anyone seeking to maintain, repair, or restore these vehicles.
