I lived near where they filmed the UK Mk3 Ford Granada advert back in 1985.

As @Jonny69 says the Scorpio was the top of the line version. I thought they all had the bigger 2.9 engine and full black leather interior, but as this shows they also did cloth interior Scorpio's too.
This Granada Scorpio was apparently a new dimension in motoring luxury, details from 12 mins in following clip, and shows the trickle down effect of features you'd find on most modern jet passenger aircraft, now being found in modern cars. What feature of the Scorpio do you think this blokes claims is "probably unique on any production car anywhere in the world?"

For those too busy or nauseous to watch an 80's Ford car salesman dazzle us with all the amazing features, the answer is the power operated rear seat back. Unfucking believable Geoff.
