These are fantastic atmospheric shots. Your dad had some serious taste in motors, especially the Big Fords. Amazing to think that at the time of the Arab Oil Crisis in 1974 they were being scrapped in their thousands, nobody wanted them.
keep on posting, they stand as a lasting tribute to your father's memory, it'l lovely to see them as they were back in the mid-70's when I was a nipper. Condolences to you for your loss, he seems to have been one helluva guy.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

I am so very sorry to he of your loss, very sorry indeed...! Your old man lookes to have owned bloody nice motors ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) I am keen to find out more about the ex-Police Savage Granada, do you know any more about it...?! I remember goin in it as a kid it was an ex erdington birmingham unmarked high speed pursuit car with a fully blueprinted engine and it was slightly bored out aswell my dad had the car for a year or so then he ended up breaking it up for parts for another, I know he also got caught speeding in it ( and that the brakes would never last very long (it could go but the brakes where standard 3.0 items and stopping it could be difficult!) I might find more paperwork on it eventually ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan_zps768d57b6.jpg) 1972 280se ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan1_zps7c51c841.jpg) 1969 280se ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan2_zpsf5dc7131.jpg) ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan3_zps13d82549.jpg) 1976 280se ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan4_zps046c769e.jpg) 1980 350se ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan5_zps4ad66901.jpg) ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan6_zps9439d501.jpg) ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan7_zps7edc7eb9.jpg) ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan8_zps7c2f3804.jpg) 1985 280e ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan9_zps41061489.jpg) 1986 300se ![](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s664/mjp27/Scan10_zpsf8ac601b.jpg) 1985 500sec

I used to get bits for various cars from him years ago, I think he had one of everything..... hi yeah my dad and mike where good friends they known each other for a very long time, some of the pics are taken at english bicknor before mike moved to awre. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

So sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much for sharing these fantastic pictures, your Dad was obviously a man of great taste indeed! I love all of those cars, especially the big Fords.
The B reg grey and silver Granada Ghia X brings back happy memories of a car my Dad owned back in the day, it was an ex Ford Management car (Dad had a friend who could get him into the FoMoCo Auctions at their HQ in Essex) identical colour scheme (nimbus grey and silver I think with double red coach line) the reg was B2**YOO, an Essex number like your Dad's car (B939WNO) - happy days!
