Sorry Tony, didn't see your reply until today, nearly a month later. My previous Scorp was green, an estate but not with the private number. Got a dark aubergine saloon now. Nearly lost it on the ice outside Crastock Manor last week. Good job I had me brown trousers on.
Wonder if the one with the number plate realises the connection with Lancia. Scorp drivers are usually pretty well informed, you know...
