FORD GRANADA GHIA X AUTO 1982 | eBay

 

[Buster'stheboy]

The first automatic I ever drove and the first big car. My husband used to love these. Brings back some happy memories, one of his was this colour too.

I have a soft spot for those Mk2 Ghia X Granadas. I'm very tempted to get one. Nice cars.

Wow Blast from the past I had a mk 2 Ghia x saloon beautiful car mine was exactly the same int/ext colour combo

Notice it is trimmed with deep pile velour.

The car might have been generally rubbish, but the seat material is top notch.

love the saloons of these

my dad used to drive them as taxis in the 80's

I loved the sound the 2.8 auto made. Sounded quite meaty - especially when compared to 4 pot tat.

The wheels on those were the bain of my childhood. Many a Saturday morning was lost trying to get them clean on my dads car. Thankfully we now have a myriad of chemicals to remove brake dust and wheel mank, back then I had fairy liquid and a sponge.

I remember the electric seats had joysticks instead of buttons for control. Coolest thing I'd ever seen back in 1984. And a trip computer as well. My 97 S600 doesn't even have that.

Should you ever decide to, obvious I know, but double check the floors and 2 chassis rails for rot, also cracks to the rails where/due to the front suspension subframe stressing them.

Sadly most of these have ended their days being smashed up on the banger racing circuit.

The Granada was the "managers car" and in the days when company car tax was based on the number of miles the car covered at year end, we'd be offered the keys to any number of these to get the mileage up so the manager paid less tax.

With no MOT or TAX and "currently off road" £1000 seems a trifle ambitious?

Exactly what I thought.

Might only be the paint holding it together.

Still, worth a look and a haggle for an enthusiast.
