Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

On the Classic Albums series featuring Iron Maiden, their producer Martin Birch was so affected by strange goings-on during sessions for The Number Of The Beast including lights apparently switching on and off by themselves, that he refused to pay a garage bill which totalled £666 after his car cras...

Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

my father didnt even stop, he said '' I am not buying that its green'' and we turned around and drove home. Apparently he believed green cars were unlucky. Oh wow, my Mum used to say that too. Wonder where that came from. Heard that too. Around 1985 I had a Crystal Green Mk3 Escort as did a couple ...

Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

Very nice car for the price https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1704058

Sadly 6/7 years until tax exempt so by then the yearly cost could be really expensive.

Re: Nicest Granada I've ever seen

This has not sold in about 5 years now.. maybe more. Weird how some cars just do not sell. Tbh, I'd be put off by the seller's attitude. I think it comes across as extreme arrogance to list in the advert reasons why they won't respond to certain messages. Gives totally the wrong impression from the...

Not everyone wants a LHD car and I think they are more to insure? Some sellers are stubborn on price too!

Looks a bit like Fray Bentos, remember those? Love em. When I was alot lot younger I had one on Sundays as I didn't like roast dinners. Think they did an individual size which is about the family size now. Still have them from time to time and still a bugger to get it out the tin :lol: I do like a ...

Well you could Paul but you'd be wrong :)

And don't get me started on petrol prices! Local Esso garage yesterday was just under £1.70 litre for E5 :shock: About 25p litre more than E10 :swear:

Never owned or driven a Granada, but nice car and often towards the cheaper end of the Ford market.

Re: Security finally fitted

When I renewed my insurance last month I enquired if fitting security would reduce the premium, the answer was "sadly not much these days". Apparently thieves are so clever these days they either bypass the security or arrive with a low loader and high Vis jacket. I was also warned if it ...

For any new/used parts I always went to Caprigear first, and on the rare occasion that Martin couldn't help then Tickover!
