EXTERIOR
The exterior of this Mk2 Granada is impeccable in every respect. Finished in Diamond White it has a deep, gloss shine which is amazing and an absolute pleasure to polish. The colour code and description sticker is still present in the spotless carpeted boot. The Tobacco vinyl roof is unmarked. Supplying Ford Dealer Stonehaven Motors number plates are still fitted. No marks, dings, blemishes or imperfections can be found except one undulation on the passenger wing. It has no stone chips. All the trim is perfect, window rubbers are black and all decals are correct and present including the Ghia badges. The bronze tinted glass is mark free but two microscopic chips can just be seen on the front screen. The Zibart rust preventative plug holes carried out when new can be seen in all the doors and sills but one rubber plug is missing on the driver's sill. The engine bay is clean and original but not detailed. A truly exemplary and unique example.
INTERIOR
The interior of this Granada Ghia is outstanding and as new. The twin reclining front seats are covered in the luxurious Crushed Velour/Verona Tan fabric topped with fabric covered head restraints all with no damage. The twin bucket style rear seats and colour keyed shag pile carpet is perfect. All the headlining is tight and clean, all the gauges including the quartz clock operate as does the three speed heater fan. The seat base fabric is a little slack. The boot area including carpet and spare wheel are as new. This car really is a beautiful, unspoilt place to be and exactly how Ford intended.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 2.8 litre V6 Cologne engine is a real pleasure. Quiet, smooth and effortless producing 135bhp at 5200rpm this is a true Ford treasure. Electronic breakerless ignition ensures crisp performance and reliability combined with easy maintenance and low running costs. Two treasured owners have ensured this low mileage unit is factory correct. The standard automatic transmission with oil cooling is wonderful.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This Granada it fitted with the factory correct and immaculate 14" alloy road wheels with 185/80 R14 branded tyres all with excellent tread. The hydraulic dual line vacuum servo-assisted self-adjusting brakes with ventilated front discs are surefooted and offer a brilliant progressive feel.
