As a fan of all things Granada I have been trying to get hold of some development/prototype images for years! It appears I now have a few so I thought I'd share them with you good people. I wish they were a tad larger but beggars can't be choosers...!!!

 

They date from anywhere between 1967-1970 (I think) and I do hope you enjoy them...

Here's a couple of my 2.8i Ghia X, owned between 1992-98, was a great workhorse and tow car.

Would pull the race car whilst 5-up plus all the tools, spares etc. a bit more torque would have been nice though. Once did 95 (speedo) on the continent going to Spa I think, ran straight as an arrow 8)

Did a few mods on it, Cosworth 24V front discs & Rover Vitesse 4-pot Calipers, lowered it and added an extra oil cooler on the autobox.

Here it is ready to trailer an RS3100 that had been sat in a field in Norfolk for 10+ years...

Don't be scared to put more pictures up of it...!!!

 

Seriously though, I know a lot of Granada's have bitten the rust this year during various, ermmm, 'pursuits' so let's see as many surviving ones as we possibly can...

 

Let's hope the Granada starts to get the kind of following that will preserve it rather than destroy it...!!!
