Hopefully image loaded...

Just cleared out a old bodyshop of some interesting old stuff, this floor panel (I suspect its a boot floor) was in and amongst... No Part numbers visible,faded due to being left in the sun.
Small label had what looked like a Ford logo on it, but can't tell if it has been stuck on later.

Anyone know what this fits??

Not really much to add except a couple of observations: I guess you'll be looking for something with no spare wheel well, so it might be newer than it looks, or might be from something where the spare mounts outside underslung maybe, or even, Nash Metroplitan style on the boot lid? And I think it's taken a whack on one side, which might be distorting the impression of it?

Not been damaged, spare wheel I believe would be side mounted (n/s/r) Panel is in perfect order and I would imagine someone somewhere will be crying out for it... trouble is I can't really advertise it as don't know where to aim it until I know what it is from......
Someone must recognise it!!

Looks like a Granada Mk1 or 2 to me.

My observations are, as another has said, no spare wheel well AND no access cover for the fuel tank. Odd it's assymetrical too. Where do you think the wheel arches fit in too? Van or estate is my guess but can't add much to that.

Difficult to tell. It could be a footwell (one-side front or rear).

How big is it?

Width overall approx 4 foot 9 inch length approx 3 foot.

It is not a footwell, it is a boot/load floor panel.
Deffo side mount spare (n/s).
Shape is really what is throwing me.... plus the rather annoying fact that people don't take that many pictures of boot floors when restoring/selling cars!!!

Given it's bizarre shape whoever has owned a vehicle from which this is fitted will no doubt recognise the shape straight away!!

Well done that man!! Looks very close, I have found a reasonable pic via google search.

Looks like n/s/f corner would need modding to allow inner wheel arch fitting.

Thanks all for your input!!
