This one is another car I had forgotten about, the Ford Granada, either a 2 or 2.8 Litre, Manual. The image is stock, however, I couldn't find the two tone colouring or an original image of the one I owned, having the lower part as almost a grey in colour, if I recall correctly. I had bought this car off a mechanic and picked it up from a motorway service station, (Wasn't too dodgy in those days). The bodywork was not pretty, however the engine and gearbox was the best I had experienced to this day even. It was smooth all the way and one knew the previous owner loved the mechanics of this vehicle and spent many hours refining it. I even trusted this vehicle to the point of travelling all around Scotland and covering at least 3000 miles and this with a small camping trailer on the back. A wonderful driving experience. It had high milage, new set of tyres, a toe-hook and that was about it. I sold it for next to nothing to my partner at the time as I knew the low maintenance would get her out of trouble and then she sold it to my brother! Again, I never knew what ever happened to it after that. No doubt another car graveyard...if so, I don't want to know....a great, great pity.
