^^ I like that! looks awsome in black. There was a mk2 two door sat on a drive near me for years but its dissapeared now, probably to the track I would imagine  There was also a mk1 saloon 2.0 that was left to rot on a drive, that also went to the track eventually. It was very rough though thanks to the idiot owner letting it fester for years. And I see a mk2 2.8GL saloon sat on a drive in Southsea now and again. Its not been used for years but still looks pretty good, and definatly savable. The same place has a green mk1 round the back thats pretty rough too, aswell as a mk1 transit and mk3 cortina. I keep a look out for them round here! |

This is my Uncle's ex mk2 Granada. He owned it for years and sold it to someone who said they were 'going to do it up'. 18 months later I was watching Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels and almost fell off my seat when his car was duly trashed by Vinnie Jones!!!! I remember telling him about it and he was gutted! Better an exit in style on the big screen than sat rotting away though methinks...   Here comes Vinnie!  I had this car after the film with the patch on the tail gate I got it of a trader in Exeter for 290 quid He told me it was in the film I then sold it to a banger driver it died |

Nice...! I'd love a Chasseur if only for the matching bitter chocolate fitted lugage it came with... Don't forget the matching shotgun holsters ! ;D My eldest bro-in-law had one a sportsman ( ?) ltd edition if I recall correctly. He left it with me for months as he was splitting from wife & didn't want to 'lose' it. Went well with my Fairmont station wagon ; same colours.  |

When I see those MkII's I wonder why Ford had to enlarge the car for here in Oz which became the Falcon XD. It says on wiki "Improved body reinforcing allowed many reductions in component weight to be made, improving performance and braking", which may be so, but it looks just too bloated in comparison.
I've yet to experience one but then my abiding memory of my Dad's white 2.3GL MkII was coasting down through the mountains of Andorra until we got to the main town. This was due to brake failure which meant Dad carefully guiding the car down on the handbrake with a caravan on the back.
Scary times.

I assumed 'A77 UVL' got trashed during filming. Shame it survived the experience and then ended up round the oval shortly after anyway  |
