I am being taken out for ride in a neighbours Grantura Mk 3 today, looking forward to that!

I understand that not many were made, so a rare thing indeed

I've only had a glimpse of it to date, but looking at pics of them on the web, they are a desirable looking creature. Our modern cars today probably have some of that dna running through the veins

Hi Jurgen

From my records around 90 MkIII 1800's were made along with 38 MkIII 1800S.

That's around 128 Mk III's in total, so yes, quite rare.

Regards
Simon

Some pictures of it. What a joy it was! And is as much of a headturner as mine is.
The engine sounds great, I could hear it coming, was able to get my shoes on and open the door before he arrived...
In the cabin, it has all sorts of unusual buttons and switches, just as confusing as the ones in mine smile
He's had it a number of years, and is used a lot, it is by no means a showroom example, but is well loved and used as it was meant to be
A great experience.
