Ok folks so here is my wonderful Mk1 Granada Ghia... I haven't had many Sweeney moments yet but I'm sure there are many to come as this is most definitely a keeper...







It is a glorious thing to behold and was purchased from a nice geezer down in deepest darkest Devon (though it started life in Sheffield)... Due to a dodgy condensor the journey was made back up to Surrey on the back of two low-loaders, soul destroying but at least it saved on the petrol costs...!!! I have wanted a Mk1 Granada for years and since I've had this one (since July...) it has been truly fantastic and I never want to get rid of it...

That's beautiful! They have such road presence. I seem to recognise it - are you on Retrorides?

They made a plug ugly Scorpio just around the time people decided they had to have a German badge.
