HMC Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Shamelessly copied from my E bay ad (which I will put up later- thought I'd try here first)- 1990 Granada Ghia 2.0i Manual saloon. MOT to April 2016Original purchase and warranty invoice, Dealer pack with FSH (initially stamped then paper invices for independent garages, all old MOT's which allow the 56K showing to be substanciated)Nice condition overall. The paint has held up well with no peeling lacquer, shines well but there is wear and tear to be expected of a car of this age. There are a few shallow parking type dents (see pic for the worse one) The rear arches have has new metal let in at some stage, done well but being picky the paint finish to the rear arches although looks reasonable, up close there is a little bit of an orange peel finish in places to the arches and the adjacent rear door shuts need finishing properly. There is some locallised bubbling to the outer sills, but wasnt serious enough to worry the MOT tester.The interior is well kept, minor wear and tear to be expected of a car of this age. There is cracking to the dash top. The electric windows, mirror and central locking all work, as does the electric sunroof, which will tilt but sticks a bit on slide.The car drives really well. Recent work includes new battery, new front discs and pads (the rears look quite pitted) and a new exhaust. The car doesnt overheat but over a period of use the coolant seems to need topping up every few weeks. The car has a set of 24V cosworth alloys fitted which have almost new tyres all round. Id like £350 Bucketeer, Vince70, Junkman and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Don't raffle it, it's a nice car, at a very reasonable price. If it was a hatchback, automatic and not a Ford I'd be interested (maybe) GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealtainn Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Ooooft, seriously tempted by this. Dad had a K reg 2.9i saloon in dark grey and I loved it. Nice and rare with the manual box too.

dean36014 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 How do you lot get reasonable classic insurance on these things. No garage, but a rear driveway, 45 years old, and the quotes are around £500! Seriously tempted but can't find a cheap insurance quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Mega barg, when you considering I'm spending more to bring a newer, lesser Sierra back to life it makes me wonder what I'm doing seem completely pointless and financially stupid.

Ben_L Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm seriously on this... Where in Devon are you located? What's the spec list? Heated seats, AC, ABS, etc... Not expecting anything, just intrigued. This would do a superb job of pissing off the neighbours at my gaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
