Does anyone know or can link to some info showing the towing capacity and kerb weight/gross vehicle weight for a Mark 2 or 3 Ford Granada?

Thanks.

GVW and GTW will be on the VIN plate.
Do you have an owner's handbook for the car? Or a Haynes manual?

Nope, don't even have a Granada, just looking about and couldn't find anything other than a rouge post from 2012 claiming they had a 2000kg tow limit, but not which Mark or engine.

Kerb weight of a Mk2, 2.8i seems to be 1,400kg.

I had a Mk2 2.8i Ghia X, which I used to trailer the race car over 20 years ago, I'm sure from memory the towing limit was 1900kg.

Was a great tow car, a bit more torque from the 2.8 would have been nice though.
