I’m with Doofus on this … don’t think the Granada was a desired thing in the late 80s and certainly not the 90s …
That's not entirely what I said. I said that specific example was horrible.
No, I was with you on your comment of never having seen modded Granadas back in the day - I never did either. The words after that were my own opinion, sorry for the confusion.

Sorry guys but you gotta love a bit of period Zender body kits...

Nice little scirocco this morning in Guildford
Magical looking car. My brother had a GTi in 1981, it was a fantastic thing!

yes Really emphasizes what a bloated lozenge/homogenous blob the modern interpretation is.

Ironically, reviews at the time described it as too heavy.

Just FYI, we're all widescreen these days. Where you live appears to be stuck in the 4:3's.

I’m 100% sure about the wheels. They’re bloody horrible. Wrong size, wrong style, wrong era, wrong everything.

Lovely car otherwise though cool

One for the "classics dwarfed by moderns" thread (though I suspect the MG was always a tad diminutive..)

Brilliant that the stand out car is probably worth the least!

I’m in agreement, the rest do nothing for me, DI is the one I’d enjoy driving the most. Childhood hero!

Genuine? It certainly looked it, but I’m not too familiar with these and I’ve never seen one before.

Not the best low drag lookalike E-Type I have seen. Someone on here has better. This one from page 3 of this very thread.

Also agree. I would walk past all of those modern supercars to have a look at the Integrale first and the Midget second. The rest would get a cursory glance.
