Highlights

Only 40,430 miles from new
Same family ownership since 1986
Very good condition throughout

The Appeal

The Ford Granada Ghia X 2.8i Saloon is an outstanding example of 80's automotive design, combining luxury, style, and performance. Its champagne gold exterior complements the bold 80’s design and robust stance, making it a head-turner even today. The Granada was known for its comfortable ride and advanced features for its time, and this Ghia X model represents the pinnacle of that legacy.

The car’s excellent condition, both inside and out, combined with the same family ownership since 1986 makes it a very rare find. With its low mileage and meticulous care, this Granada promises an enjoyable driving experience (thanks in no small part to a superb V6 engine!), whether for leisurely drives or as a stunning showpiece.
