Love: In full GXL trim this Granada is a comfortable big car punching above its weight. The styling is bold but not brash and of course a similar car in the same colour achieved TV fame in “The Sweeney” although Jack Regan’s car was in fact a Consul which was not as well equipped as the Granada
Fact: This is another rare survivor from an era when Ford were really on a roll and British Leyland were reeling on the ropes. The Granada in all its guises was an immensely popular car although like so many others, it’s a rare sight now.
Note: The idea of different trim levels denoted by L,GL and GLX was a clever piece of marketing giving some status according to the badge on the boot.
Ford Granada MK1 Drive
£75.00
Drive this 70s powerhouse and be Sweeney for the day?
The Granada Mk1 was the first of a long line of big family / executive cars replacing the Zephyr/ Zodiac series. The early cars had a smooth 2.5 litre V6 engine and a plush velour interior with wooden capping on door and dashboard. Some of the Mk1s were built at Dagenham but the second series were all made in Germany.
