May 2022 Classics Auction
1984 Ford Granada 2.8 Estate
Lombard Rally Support Vehicle
Registration - A20 YOO
Chassis No. - WF0NXXGAGNDM39980
M.O.T. - March 2023
Odometer -
This very purposeful-looking service barge was professionally prepared for an historic rally event that was then cancelled due to COVID 19, so has yet to be used in anger. It is finished in white and blue livery and adorned with appropriate logos, and its comprehensive specification includes: colour-keyed Minilite alloy wheels shod with rally specification tyres; full-sized tyre rack; reclining Corbeau bucket seats; bumper and roof-mounted auxiliary lights; rear-mounted storage rack; auxiliary instruments; Terratrip; map reading light; leather-rimmed Momo steering wheel; fire extinguisher; and tow pack. The vendor currently classes the 2.8-litre V6 engine and three-speed automatic transmission as ‘excellent’, the estate bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’ and the black interior trim as ‘average’, and informs us that the four-owner Ford ‘runs and drives superbly and is very reliable’. It has apparently benefited from a recent mechanical check-over that included a full gearbox service, and is now available for sale complete with the eye-catching registration ‘A20 YOO’. A unique opportunity for classic rally competitors everywhere.
Ford unveiled its executive-sized Granada in 1972 as a replacement for the Zephyr and Zodiac line as well as the German P7 series of cars. Good looking, solidly-built workhorses, they quickly found favour with company fleet managers and the public at large, as well as police forces and taxi companies. The MKII version of 1977 brought cleaner-edged styling and a switch from UK to German-built engines for the more powerful versions, such as the sale car. The model was available as a two-door or four-door saloon or five-door estate, and buyers could choose from no less than nine engine options and an array of trim packages.
In summary:
- A professionally prepared rally service barge that’s yet to see service
- Fully equipped with the appropriate accessories
- The perfect partner to a classic Ford rally car
