First car I drove at the tender age of 11-ish was the 3.0 V6 auto version of this in white.

My dad had two, one runner (white) and one bought for spares (metallic-ish blue) which got buried when exhausted with his JCB.
Did we all have donor cars...when I bought my first car in '83 (a Triumph 1300) my Dad came home one day with a similar car that was for spares...LOL

And Burying the car when it had been stripped LMAO

Many similar shenanigans throughout childhood.

The static caravan attached to a Land Rover and dragged through a bonfire while we shot holes for the flames to come out of with a shotgun, was another adventure. I used to give our grown up guests rides home in the Granada (all on private land) after long nights of debauchery.

My ordinary, suburban life still surprises me daily considering the stuff we did growing up.
