I remember my Father, lord rest him having a couple of Ford Consul's back in the early eighties. His first one though was something else. She was diamond white with blue interior, absolutely spotless. I remember when he bought it, after taking her for a test drive, with myself and my younger brother sitting in the back. For us two it was like, all our Christmas' had come together just in that moment of time.Unfortunately the engine seized on him,(2lt. engine) and he replaced it with a (3lt.)
I have same as this car. But my car needs to be fixed. Please write me if some one interested in ford granada mk 1. I live in Mongolia. Please e mail me bonet_20052005@yahoo.com
@declanm24 It's worth more as it is. Banger racing is the sport of chav's. Go and smash up all your nova's, corsa's, and saxo's. Oh and go and smash up some crappie Kia's and Daewoo's and all the far east crap that's on our roads.
That is a lovely car, always loved the MK1 Grannies.
What is that colour?
If you could please post the colour code for it I would be grateful as I am about to respray my MK1 Toyota Celica GT Lifttback and that blue would look good on the Toy.
Hallo, benutze immer API TC Zweitaktöl 1:100 (1%) im Benzin damit der alte Motor auch mit dem heutigen aggressiven Benzin keinen Schaden nimmt...mit 1% igem Zweitaktgemisch korrodiertb nämlich auch tank, Benzinpumpe, Vergaser und Leitungen nicht mehr...auch die Ventile werden hervorragend geschmiert--Bleiersatz wird unnötig..die Kolbenringe bekommen ne bessere Schmierung und der Brennraum wird wie blank entrußt durch das heutige sehr stark reinigende Zweitaktöl. (Qualmt auch nicht mehr !!)
I owned an identical car in 1980/1 in that colour and spec.Its the most memorable car ive owned,and ive had some crackers.That is a credit to you and oneday when the kids have flown the coup i will get another.
