Don't find these in this condition very often.

If only I had the money.

That's a cracking motor, I had quite a few MKl & MKll Granada's back in the day, superb motors. that's the same model as I had in the late 80's, It got stolen from a locked compound with CCTV & they had to shift two cars to get mine, I was heartbroken over that, It was in concourse condition.:mad:

Never heard about ever again.:devil:

When the mk3 was released owner hung on to there mk2s as long as they could, especially estate owners.. biggest mistake ford made, assuming a hatchback could replace an estate car

I had a '98 3 litre Ghia (Mk1), beautiful car, admittedly with the auto choke and that nice V6 it only did 9 mpg in the winter but fuel was cheap then and it sounded so good, I kept it a couple of years before swapping it for a Series 2 XJ6.

I drove a Mk2 Granada diesel over many miles as a taxi, never missed a beat but it was a NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- to keep the engine warm, a bit like my ZT now :D.
My dad had a Mk2 2 litre estate with the pinto engine, he pulled a big caravan all over the UK with that.

That is a nice car for sale, a well kept example.

The X pack made this a very well specified car indeed. Nearly bought one in 1990. This. One is in excellent condition. :drool4:

If only I had money...I had a Ghia back in the day, and it was a pain in the bottom, but I really wish I hadn't let it go when unleaded came in now. :( It was a beauty.

I wanna it I wanna it. :drool4::drool4::drool4::drool4::drool4::drool4:

Very nice, the seats have not even sagged.

Had a Capri many years ago with the same engine.

Seems a lot of car for the money in that condition. I have seem ones with a lot more mileage sell for that money.
