Mk2 Ghia 2.3 estate?

Don't remember that option in the UK. Possible tho, like Cortina 1600 Ghias which were listed for a year or two but I've never seen one.

Didn't some European countries used to have really high road tax for bigger engines,so they made higher-spec cars with the smaller engines?

I can't find a 2.3 Granada Ghia in any of my brochures, but it's certainly true that some countries got combinations that weren't sold in the UK due to different tax regimes. 

Not just trim levels, but whole models with smaller engines, e.g. Escort Mark 1 and 2 with 940cc engine.

There is a Ford Cars brochure from about 1980/81 now I think about it, offering the option of a 2.3 Ghia Granada. Never seen the 2.3 option on a Ghia estate tho.

Yes, there were 2.3 Ghia saloons, but not estates. Sorry, I wasn't clear in my last post.
