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.

Never heard about ever again.

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 .
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.

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.

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.
