The Most Expensive Ford Granada Ever Sold?

First introduced in 1972, the Ford Granada was the replacement for both the British Zephyr and the German P7-series.

When it first launched, it had the recognisable Ford mechanics, with options ranging from a 2.0-litre V4 to the more powerful Essex V6 in 2.5 and 3.0-litre versions. The Granada was offered as a saloon, estate, or a fastback coupé. It became a popular choice for private hire, police fleets, and even as the base for limousines and hearses.

By 1973, the high-spec Ghia trim arrived. This raised the Granada’s level of luxury to another level with metallic paint, velour upholstery, a digital clock, Ronal alloys (post-1976), and plenty of thoughtful touches inside and out made it a very desirable choice. The top end of the range was the 3.0 Ghia, which also came with power steering as standard.

Our 1977 Ford Granada Ghia was first registered on 1st August 1977 and is finished in deep Onyx Green and trimmed with retro Black velour.

Covering just 31,208 miles from new, it’s technically had two owners, but it’s actually remained in the same family throughout its life, passed on only due to bereavement. A documented speedo change took place in 2010 at 26,563 miles, with the current reading at 4,645.

When our Granada sold at a recent auction, it cost its new owner just under £30,000. From what we can tell, this is one of, if not the most expensive Ford Granada ever sold at auction!

It’s a beautiful car and we hope the new owner enjoys it.
