Ford unveiled its executive-sized Granada in 1972 as a replacement for the Zephyr and Zodiac line as well as the German P7 series of cars. Good looking, solidly-built workhorses, they quickly found favour with company fleet managers and the public at large, as well as police forces and taxi companies. The MKII version of 1977 brought sharper-edged styling and a switch from UK to German-built engines for the more powerful versions. The model was available as a two-door or four-door Saloon or five-door Estate and buyers could choose from nine engine options and an array of trim packages.

This 1983 MKII Saloon sports Light Blue bodywork allied to Grey cloth upholstery. A very original example in 'barn find' condition, it is fitted with the top of the range 2.8 Cologne V6 engine with rare carburation rather than fuel injection mated to automatic transmission. Showing four previous keepers on its accompanying V5C Registration Document, 'A700 VJW' has been in current ownership since 2004 and is believed to have covered 101,288 miles from new.
