It could be garaged off road/in storage. There's a hell of a lot of cars that aren't properly SORN'ed but still exist.

What was the last known area where the car was based/sold to?
Is there a local Classic Ford Club you can make enquiries with?

Worth looking online (if you haven't already) to find Granada Owners Clubs and ask there.
I'll ask on a few Ford forums I use to see if anyone knows the car.

Anoter thing I've seen done was an Ebay listing. Put any pictures and details of the car you have on the ad, list it under "Cars, Parts & Vehicles", "Classic Cars" "Ford" and put in the ad that you're looking for info on the car.
A friend of mine has twice done it that way and tracked down his old RS Turbo Escorts.

Good luck and I hope you get somewhere with it.
