The Appeal

In the early 1980s’ suburban driveway wars, the Granada Ghia was top of the tree. Crisp three box styling, luxury wood-lined trim and a lusty Cologne V6 did the business in the company car park too.

All of which makes this gorgeous Granny very tempting. It is a very smart example finished in grey metallic with a well kept grey velour interior lined, because this is a Ghia, with a liberal dose of timber. Its low sub-70,000 miles from new explains the very good condition,which appears to be largely original. It sports some tasty options including fog lights, extra driving lights and a Granada S spoiler.

From 1st April 2025 this car will be eligible for Historic Vehicle status making it tax, ULEZ and MOT exempt. The vendor offers it with a fresh MOT in readiness for its next owner.

This well preserved Granada will be a treat for Ford enthusiasts. Or for anyone who grew up in the 80s or loves great saloons, one not to miss.
