INTERIOR
The interior of this flagship Granada Ghia X is outstanding. The twin reclining heated and electric front seats are trimmed in unmarked Navy crushed velour and Chatsworth luxury material which extends to the door cards, (Code F6). The woodgrain effect to the dash and upper door sections has a rich colour with no sun damage, thanks to perfect indoor storage from new. Incredibly the cloth headlining is pristine and the four spoke soft feel steering wheel still displays all the natural veins. All controls, switches, gauges and warning lights are operational, (including those in the roof panel), and the desirable Monroe Ride-Leveler controls ride height with a working gauge. The cavernous boot area is spotless with no cargo damage and lifting the boot floor reveals the rubber mat and even the Bollig & Kemper colour code sticker and Ford jack retained by the rubber straps. The retractable roller boot cover is present and fully working. This car really is a beautiful, unspoilt place to be and exactly how Ford intended.

HISTORY FILE
This formidable and unrepeatable Ford Granada 2.8 Ghia X Estate was supplied new by Ford main dealer, Knutsford Motors Ltd in Northwich on the 1st April 1983. The original service book is stamped seven times by the supplying dealer and a fastidious owner, Mr Les Williams, kept a detailed log of annual mileage with every supporting MOT certificate. In the last seven years of his ownership and until 2004 his annual mileage dropped to below 100 and at the age of 76, he decided to sell the car. Preserved wonderfully, it has subsequently been housed within some of the finest Ford collections, the latest being within the Moulsdale Foundation, Scotland’s largest Classic and Performance Car and Motorbike Museum. All handbooks, including the rare Trip Computer manual, sales brochure and spare keys are present. Now being offered for sale for a lucky new owner to fully appreciate a rare piece of Ford motoring history with what must be one of the lowest mileage, most original Ford Executive cars in existence!
