2.8 GL manual! - very rare indeed - what a beauty!

[@chrishart8548]

I can't help loving mk2 granada's I've got such a soft spot for them. I'm 43 so they were still around a fair bit wile I was growing up. My uncle Barry had a blue one they used it for towing a caravan.

[@Ken_Dodds_Tickling_Stick]

Very nice car indeed. And the radio/cassette is indeed correct for the model. The last one I had was a 1985 2.3 LX in jade green - B888 OSA and was fitted with this unit. Beautiful big cars.

[@Dirt-Diggler]

Shame the UK only got a 4door on the Mk2 ☹️ 2 door saloons on the Mk2 looked great 👍

[@glennpowell3444]

These mk2's were the dogs bollocks.Shame so many ended up on the banger tracks.Ford at their best back then.The mk 1's are hens teeth now and they were good machines but the mk 2's were the boss.The car you wanted you dad to have.

The first car I bought at 18 yrs old in 1984 was a Diamond White 1979 Granada 2.8 Ghia Auto (FPU 606T) which I replaced with a late 1981 (VRK 282X) Cardinal Red 2.8 Injection Auto (NOT “Sport”m the incorrect title so many people give the model!). I loved the elegant lines of these cars (still do!) but, in hindsight, now prefer the cleaner more pure lines of the smaller bumper pre-facelift models. They don’t look anywhere so good though without the iconic Ford alloy wheels used on Fiestas, Cortinas and Granadas in the late Seventies and early Eighties!

[@chrishart8548]

Cars were actually a lot more expensive back then if you adjusted for inflation to be able to afford a 5 year old 2.8 ghia granada at 18 I solute you . Even a 1976 austin maxi would be £19k equivalent in today's money. That's poor value with no safety or luxury features. And a 1.5 petrol manual.

[@johnrandle8365]

Like the granada although I don't like fords generally still like the older ones ?

[@user-lq2zl1ks8x]

Just great cars live had afew they proved them self over as taxi police cars an on the track one of ford's best aloi g with the lotus cortina an cosseworth cars

[@autotek3110]

82/83 that radio came out.

[@mick0846]

It needs a set of ghia alloys on it 👌

[@bsport131]

Think Dave likes this mind you so do I

[@stephenflint5209]

Nice mind.

[@evilbemer]

hi had forteen MK1 and 2 Granadas should of kept them as t the price for them there's days

[@AndyK.1]

High spec for a GL (e.g Elec Seats)

[@paulheard7480]

what i dont get is that ford had the 2.8i already in the capri, so why not just do away with the 2.8 carb ......and yes i know the 2.8i was an option in the granada

[@CB1000FP1]

I had a 2.8 injected granada ghia x estate, I bought it when it was 3 years old and kept it for 14 years, it had a 3 speed auto box and a limited slip diff and went like shit off a shovel it had the trx wheels on so the tyres were a bit expensive, the only options it didn't have were electric sun roof and leather seats and frankly I wish I still had.

[@elainegoffid3191]

What price will the, ford, granada go, for 😂

[@CB1000FP1]

@@elainegoffid3191 absolutely no idea

[@Dirt-Diggler]

@@CB1000FP1 i had a GhiaX exec with leather and all the options, it was fooking awesome 😎

[@CB1000FP1]

@@Dirt-Diggler I certainly loved mine and as I said even with the 3 speed auto the limited slip diff would spin the wheels with ease but it wasn't wise to look at the trip computer as the fuel consumption would drop to about 7 or 8 mpg

[@user-lq2zl1ks8x]

If only they put alotius engines into them what acar it could have been

[@stevealexR1]

The seats look like they are upholstered in “Chelsea” cloth to me…

[@Channel-os4uk]

Sagginess on your bolsters is best to be avoided..
