Did we have any to go anywhere ? Like Vauxhall, the 6 cyl English Fords were phased out so they didn't compete with the mighty Falcon. I've only had a couple of Granada's to work on and drive....non a common car in NZ. But probably the best rear wheel drive 6 cyl car ever .

The one in the photo would have been an Essex. The Granada, like the Capri, started out with the Essex and moved to the Cologne as it evolved, ending in the Cosworth-developed 24V 2.9 (although the Granada was called a Scorpio by this time).
