Same seller as the two tone 16/60 (which now has more photos - it has whitewall inserts, someone in rigger boots has been treading all over it and the interior is shabby, an entire seat back is missing - I've gone off it).


I'm not confident that's all that good an example of a Granada. Especially as it's wearing the wrong wheels in one photo, suggesting the tyres might be fucked. They appear to be Barums, wouldn't trust cheap/shit tyres on anything after my old 740 tried to kill me going home from Chumley '17.

On the other hand, I have my eye on this:

which is ostensibly a lot cleaner, and has a serck rear plate ftw. Unfortunately the seller is a bit of a chancer as this is what I eluded to making an offer on - I offered £2500 with an immediate deposit and collection within the week. He responded saying he was hoping for £4k+. Since then I found it on Facebook Marketplace priced at £5k, with vertical mobile phone screenshots of an eBay ad with the same pictures as this ad. So whose are the pictures? Wondering if the current seller didn't take the pictures as he's not all that literate.

There's also this:

which is an early facelift 2.8i Ghia, but the colour isn't as nice, vinyl roof, TRXs, and not as nice under the bonnet.

Also the start price is silly.

This was gone before I could get it, again same seller as the 16/60 and 2.8i Ghia X wagon.

Could have afforded it too.

Nothing wrong with Barums imo. They're a Czech company with Continental involved. My MGB is wearing a set after the advice of my Slovakian friend who was very much a tyre snob. He was running a set of Barums on his A6 3.0tdi after changing out the cheap Chinese tyres that were on it.

The ones on the MGB have been working admirably in all weather conditions.

The 16/60 has been Riggerbooted but 2 hours with P40 and a Rose Taupe rattle can will have that looking tidy. For a grand I'd rock that but only as a manual. Those things are slow enough as it is.

Sheffield to Glossop over the 'pass would be fun.

I guess P6 calipers are NLA? Unless he found NOS at the back of his garage or somewhere.

If it's really really solid it's worth almost your offer to be raced
