There is no Granada in Granadaland! Caution: Contains Granada Beast!

[Junkman]

It has finally landed at the Junkman Towers, so work will commence now without any further ado.
 

 

 

 

 
Tells the whole story in detail:
 

 

[Asimo]

Do not paint!

[Junkman]

Hell no!

[bub2006]

That's lovely. I thought all ghia x trims had leather electric seats though or was that an option?

[Bren]

Injection for Moar win.

[DVee8]

This will be some raffle.

 

Great to see it

[Bren]

12 and 21 please.

[andrew e]

TRX's on the back? Factory handling pack with shocks maybe?

[Felly Magic]

Love it!

[Guest Breadvan72]

Fwark my auld boots, that is the Guv'nor.  Once again, Junkman shows why is IS Herr Von Autoshite. 

[lincolndanny]

Its fucked.

[Junkman]

Injection for Moar lose.

 

EFA

 

It doesn't start, that's the problem.

[Guest Breadvan72]

I love all the heaps of shit lying about - tyres, doors etc.  Top shitehouse!

[Junkman]

TRX's on the back? Factory handling pack with shocks maybe?

 

Handling pack and TRXes all round.

I bought a set of 14 inchers for driveability pushability, but currently only the front ones are on it.

That's merely the nob's van contents.

Sorry for not having had the time to clear everything up yet.

[andrew e]

Front spoiler as well Junkman? Those TRX's will be painful, do Avon still do an equivlant? We had an E23 with some metric turbo speeds on (but it was 10+ years ago). Still HUBBA HUBBA!

 

Back in 1986, my dad had a 1982 GL (DBU 16Y) and we blagged some tickets for the Ford Dunton open day, (should have been staff only really) once in South Essex Motors was offering some D registered mark 2's for peanuts, the old man distinctly remembered big engine but poverty spec insides. So quite likely Police spec, how much now?

[Squire_Dawson]

I approve.

[Ben_O]

what a beast 

[Junkman]

Front spoiler as well Junkman?

Yes.

 

Those TRX's will be painful...

Not at all, because I won't use them.

[Shep Shepherd]

Puts me in mind of The Beast from "The World's End"

[Jim Bell]

If I was a Russian Gangster in 1980s Essex, I WOULD.  Right all over it and inside it.  Lovely pound of sausages.

The Granada Ghia was major social status symbol in Essex right up to the early 90's - never a gangster car. Then everyone bought German.

[320touring]

Good effort! have you practiced your John Thaw face?

They were a sign of wealth and good taste in Kent as well. So was the Rover SD1

[Angrydicky]

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I'm starting to appreciate such powerful automatic barges with big comfortable seats more than I used to. Looks an excellent mode of conveyance. 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

That's the longest collection of EVAH.

Did you have it pushed home by some asthmatic orphan Welsh toddlers ?

[chaseracer]

That's merely the nob's van contents.

I SPY KNOBVAN!

 

Also, someone seems to have sliced up a W108 on the corner of your house.

[danthecapriman]

Nice! Looks well ard in black too.

It looks pretty solid despite the rough old paintwork. What's it like underneath?

 

Wasnt leather seats on 'Executive' spec models only, and I think they were saloons only. Never seen original leather seats in an estate.

 

These are great cars though, very under rated and still very capable cars even now. I absolutely love mine.

[EssDeeWon]

That is Grrrrrrr8

 

My dad had a black A reg in the late 80s with TRX alloys, but it was a 2.3LX Manual

 

A625 VVW

Haven't you had this for ages?
