Grananda 2.8 injection special

[fefu17]

Went to see this one this morning. It's a 1982 manual 2.8i special. Zero rust, been resprayed at some point in original diamond white but to a good standard. Interior a couple of hairline cracks but presentable and all there including recaro seats. Matching engine and chassis. However, it's been sat in the garage for years...engine has some kind of problem apparently but owner couldn't give much details. Mileage was showing 35k but I think it's more 135k given from what I have seen...

 

From the little research I've done, they seem to be rare beasts but what are these worth nowadays, couldn't find any for sale? Is there a common failure for 2.8i's? And how is the availability of parts?

Ooooh, now that is nice...

 

The 2.8 injection unit is pretty reliable if looked after correctly, that just means regular servicing really!

 

With regards to parts etc... everything is difficult to get for a Granada (especially one as unique as this) so ensure anything and everything is solid and useable

 

I think you need to buy this...

Thanks for the comments.I didn't buy it in the end (someone else did the next day)...not much spare time and need to finish/start what I already have...would have been a nice addition though

They are a fantastic car when working right. It didn't have zips in the headlining by any chance ?

Didn't pay much attention to that but I don't think so...
