I would say it's a custom Ford Scorpio. See this picture for comparison: http://www.carreracarsales.ie/car/HRS1.jpg |

Coleman-Milne Cardinal? |

I don't want to participate Animatronixx, but for mee it looks much like a Coleman Milne. And it's based on a Scorpio I - oh, wasn't the Scorpio MK I still named Granada in the UK? |

Yes it was still called Granada, but IIRC the top trim level was Granada Scorpio. And I've found a Cardinal based on this generation: /vehicle_56120-Coleman-Milne-Cardinal.html |

I got the dvds, but i am not able to read the license plate. Would it make easier (at least for the dates)... |

It's either H (1990/1) or N (1995/6). I favour the former. |

'argh* Just missed it by 1 number, read it as H55DEC |

I'm quite confused.. it has the old front but 1991 plates... might be fake plates (belonging to a newer Cardinal) fitted onto this one, or the Cardinals/Grosvenors changed appearance at different years compared to the Granada/Scorpio passenger car. |

They probably bought a batch late in 89 but took time before converting and registering them. |

This bodystyle is of the earlier style Cardinal, you can tell by the door/B-pillar with the characteristic CM notch; later versions as per the facelifted ones had a 'standard'door-to-roofline... |
