Spotted on the Granada Mk3 Faceache page.
Ford launched the facelift Mk3 in 1992 so the last prefacelift scars were on a J plate, however here’s a survivor that managed to wait until 1994

surprised no ones mentioned the Lada Riva and Lada Niva (and the UAZ 452)
You can still order a brand new Niva

Swapped the entire clocks over as the 4cyl set only had 200 miles less than the originals and all is now well. Got the leather interior in too, had to wire the electric adjustment as only had wiring for the heated seats which was available with cloth seats on the Ghia X. Also added a Sierra Cosworth 3-spoke leather steering wheel. Next up is changing the suspension as her arse is saggy and I want to add a towbar. Found a guy on the Mk3 Granada Facebook page who’s a member of the Bulgarian Sierra/Granada page who works at a bodyshop and lives 1hr from me so she will be going there for a full respray and fitting of the replacement doors, bonnet and the rest of the RS bodykit. Having to save for that as house renovations are taking priority (I can’t continue walking down the garden for a crap in the depths of winter)

Called it a night just outside Carlisle.
Quick run down of the car:
Convertible Roof - doesn’t work
Suspension - clonks over bumps
Exhaust - heat shield rattles
Tracking - wheel wobble between 65-70
Everything else works so have auto lights/wipers, auto-dim rear view mirror, heated seats, cooled glovebox etc
Glovebox - Contains no Werthers Originals ?
Just over 220 miles left to do in the morning to get back to Aberdeen then on the boat tomorrow night

I remember there being something on TV years ago about a company called Rent-A-Wreck and the guy was driving a yellow Mk4 Cortina Estate that looked absolutely hanging ?

I think with an eBay User ID like that, he may have taken too many blows to the head.

Oh that one? Isn't that the one @320touringand I helped to deliver from @Jim Bell to @Sealtainn? Still on the island I believe.
Just managed to get a test onto the ex @snagglepuss @Bucketeerloaned ex @Lacquer Peel 205 today. Still needs some work on the brakes though!
Very similar to The Puglet, mine was a 3dr though
