When did you last see a once fashionable Ford Granada on the road?
Chances are a while ago! How about a Granada Ghia V6 4×4?
Pistonheads are advertising what is believed to be the only Mark 3 4×4 manual transmission model left on the road and at a reasonable price.
The 1989-registered 2.9-litre Ghia is finished in Tasmin Blue with its original grey upholstery and was extensively restored in 2017.
It has 86,000 miles on the clock and comes with full service records from its four previous owners.
Maybe its less striking than the earlier Mark 1 and 2 Granada models but in its day it was a car much loved by traffic cops and young executives looking for an alternative to a BMW.
The Ford Granada was made by Ford Europe between 1972 and 1994 and the third generation models debuted in 1985.
It was essentially a rebadged Ford Scorpio and was voted European Car of the Year in 1986.
This 1989 example is being sold on behalf of Yorkshire Classic and Sports Cars of Ripon.
