I immediately thought of the various mk2 granadas on the sainsburys archive for some reason when i saw it, but especially this classic shot from Chingford, 1994

Buh is also a Suffolk word for ‘mate’, I’d choose that definition.

Where most of the country would say “what is going on mate? In Norfolk you say “Wossgornon buh?”

Well bought.

Looking at the photos, I reckon this would suit a pub landlord like this.

That is fantastically shit. Good work keeping it away from the Oval.

Wow, that looks proper grim, electric seats must be pretty rare even in the Ghia? With a bit of love this could improve quite a bit.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Buh!

[danthecapriman]

You bad bad man!

I absolutely love these! Very much reminds me of my old estate version. Same interior and everything. Is the paint Mineral blue by any chance? Looks like it in the photos. Probably the car I most regret selling.

 

 

[bezzabsa]

does it have dead cow under those seat covers?

Awesome cars. My dad used to have a Granada 2.8 Ghia X back in 1996. My most vivid memory of that car was @DaveDorson getting smacked in the head by a bag of tent poles in the back of it.

We were coming back from a camping holiday one night in a very loaded car when some deer jumped out in front of us. No one knows how my dad managed to avoid them, but he did leave some really impressive tyre marks on the road that night. It happened on a fast down hill near Rutland Water, and I was asleep up until tyres started screeching. I remember my parents asking if we were all ok and Dave replying 'not really!'. To be fair it was a bag of steel poles from a very old and sturdy tent.

My mates mum used to have the estate version, that was a cool car too.

My dad had a couple of these, not the Ghia as far as I remember, possibly the GL. Used to buy them at the auction, keep them for a couple of years and then sell them. The other thing I remember them for is mini cabs. Always stank of fags, booze and overpowering naff 'air freshener'.
