Be also thinks its worth 6k as its 'A survivor' Personally, id shoot the builder 1st then the new owner for 'Saving' it. Bloody awful.

[HotRodMatt]

Yes it's an old build (early '80s?) but it's still awful.

"Originally a £30 wreck" What us it now then?

is it really much different to the rest of the kit cars on here ??, to make any of them right, would probably not be viable now

[colr6]

Ever thought of going to Specsavers to have those tunnel vision specs you appear to have on removed ??

colin, the wings on that key in your back, are so large I can turn the thing from here

You will need very strong arms to turn my key Ray, it does seem to come across rightly or wrongly that you will not tolerate anything unless it's as 'original' or Ford replacement. So anything not inline with that criteria doesn't justify having a Ford badge on it.

Tbh it just looks slightly worse than some of the Maltese escorts to me.

I would say yes. The styling and additions that we can see on that car serve no benefit, either in aesthetics or performance. As such they are completely the opposite of the modifications many have carried out to their cars on here.

 

Give the kit car thing a rest please Ray, it's becoming a bit tired. We understand and respect your choices and preference for factory spec cars and ask that you respect the choices made by others accordingly.

This really belongs in the 'Just Plain Wrong' thread, but as it's a Mk2 Granada I'll post it here.

[Vista]

I think "was a mk2 Granada" might be more appropriate!

Certainly of its time, but still rather tame compared to some of the things Capris got put through back then!! (The Venom Capri springs to mind...)

Indeed. But in fact I was wrong, it is the Fantasia Capri pickup.

[HotRodMatt]

Looks like a factory styling exercise?
