1980 Mk2 pre facelift ford Granada 2.3 manual L lovely! For Sale

Regrettably thinning my collection out as I've too much on and not enough time to enjoy/ tend to all my cars!

This example is a sought after pre facelift 2. 3 V6 manual.

Last on the road in 2015 it's been barn stored since but I've periodically started and drove it around.

Mechanically it's perfect, the engine starts easily (even after long periods of standing) and the auto choke works as it should, there is no nasty timing gear noise, no smoke and it pulls very very well.
Clutch is good and gearbox excellent - it had a brand new genuine ford replacement gearbox a few years previous and operates 100% - it's the 4 speed model. Brakes all work fine but seemed slightly spongy on the last test run but may just of been me , they stop the car just fine anyway. I put a new battery on it a few months ago too.

Interior is excellent I think for an old Granada, seats are unmarked , the dash is very good aside from one very small split in the vinyl top. Original radio mobile radio works! Carpets good, headlining unripped door cards very good, generally a well looked after car and showing just over 80k miles.

Car has its original Rostyle wheels that are in great shape, the fronts have as new Pirelli tyres fitted, rear tyres are average but I have sourced another pair of used pirellis that will go with the car. The spare is good and a matching Pirelli too. 1 centre cap is missing. There's also a set of wheel embellishers in the boot but I prefer it without them.

I have the current V5 for the car along with an original handbook and a Haynes manual. There's a spare pair of headlights and indicators along with a good fuel flap included too.

Very solid in the right places, floors and chassis excellent, inner wings very good , sills look perfect and un patched. There are however some areas that could do with attention , the spare wheel well has a hole from where water has sat in it so that wants doing, the fuel flap has some rust and there are some other areas that could do with attention, if your seriously intrested in the car I can send you detailed pics of all the affected areas. The white paint I think maybe original and it's showing its age - plenty of stone chips and imperfections.

Hope I've covered most of it , I'm confident that it will go through an MOT with very little / no work, I can get this done at cost for potential buyer but up until now I just haven't had time to do it.

Can Mot it for £150 extra

Cash on collection please from WR11 4SN

I've priced to sell - it does want some work and I've accounted for that, I will listen to sensible close offers to the asking price but please be sensible

Any questions feel free to ask and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks For Looking.
