As the title says, I'm breaking this Granada on behalf of a very good friend of my better halfs, but will sell as a whole if anyone is interested. As I said, this isn't my car, I've seen it driving in the past but never driven it myself.
It is a 1990 (H) Mk3 Ford Granada Ghia. It has the 2.0l 16v engine (not sure what the engine code is though) and it was running fantastic before the car was taken off the road a year ago when the fuel pump went, shows how tough they are as the car has 200k on the clock and the pump has just gone. Don't let the mileage put you off though as these are tough engines and it has been looked after very well. At the minute it is sitting without a fuel tank on so I can't start the engine to test it. It has a manual gear box too.
Bodywork is in pretty good condition. The arches have some surface rust on them but it looks worse than it is due to the white paint. It failed an MOT a few years ago on the sills, these had new metal welded on, and not just thin stuff, proper heavy duty stuff and it flew through every MOT after. There are no dents and scratches to really speak of, but bear in mind it is a 20 year old car.
This is the first time I've been near a Granada and I can't beleive the spec of this one. Interior has excellent condition grey/blue velour seats with the front's being heated ones. It has electric windows and mirrors. Heated front and rear screen. Trip computer and cruise control. Tape player face off stereo with standard Ford graphic equiliser. Sunroof. Power steering.
As I said above, the fuel tank is off at present, but I would say that if you put it back on with a new pump in it, pumped the tyres up and drove it straight to an MOT station it would pass. In my opinion it is a shame to be breaking it but the owner has had it off the road for a while aiming to do the pump but never getting round to it and would rather have the cash for it either being sold or broken and weighed in. If I had the need, I'd buy it myself and put it back on the road.
There are also a load of spares she obtained off another Granada owner. He had a big box full of parts and couldn't remember if he had a pump in there, so just gave her the box. There wasn't one in there, but loads of very good usable parts.
If you are interested, give me a PM or ask on the thread, but it might be a day or so until I reply as I am having my internet provider swapped and I'm internet-less at the minute so have to visit the 'rents to use theres.
Now, here's the pictures.
