I would love to attend a Ford Granada event like this with my very own MK2 estate. Some really beautiful outstanding motors in this video, thank you for posting this 👏🏻👌🏻
Absolutely love it. Classic cars forever. One difference with old cars, you looked at one and you knew what it was, unlike this modern garbage. All look the same. No character. Classic cars are beautiful and turn heads.
Bitterly regret not being able to attend this Granada meet. One of my favourite cars, I desperately wanted to go but couldn’t arrange the transport. Genuinely gutted.
Superb gathering of classic fords. Does anybody know if my old consul GT is still on the road. The reg was EHR 151L. White with a vinyl roof. Manual 4 speed.
Didn't know it was a special event for Granada's an unexpected bonus. I was talking to someone with a Renault 15 as "NHK" went past me. I did a double take !. Pleased you had a great event weather wise and turnout wise by the looks of it !
Mk1 & Mk2 Granadas were also built in South Africa, so likely many survive there. Some South African examples make it to the UK, thanks in part they too drive on the same side of the road we do, thus RHD.
I once owned the green Ford Granada 3.0 GL from the TV series Butterfly's with Wendy Craig! I have had a Consul GT 3.0 as well as others still a favoured car and this video is eye candy! Is that the original sweeny car or a mockup?

Awesome video,buddy 😊. I love vintage Ford cars, especially Granada and Taunus / Cortina 😉👍
Lovely lovely cars. I had 4 in total over the years, great cars.
Never thought I'd see a clone of my '73 Consul at 3:05 😍😍
0:49. Yes, that really is NHK295M from The Sweeney. The real vehicle. Not a stunt car, or a recreation or anything like that.

The blue Granada at 3:29 looks like a South African Perana 5.0 liter V8 as built by Basil Green. The badges are all in the right place.
I did wonder that. I wonder how many made their way to the UK ?
@@Drew_Eden- apparently quite a few (like most). And many, many of our Fairmont 351 GTs went to Australia.
I love my mark 1
Wish I still had my coupe

Mike it is the original Sweeney car that's been restored.
man I love hearing my dad talk about his mk2. even tho his was terrible sense it liked to break down and crashed into a light pole XD
Does anyone know the name of the colour of the car at 7:48 ?
Purple velvet I believe
@@JoshMoulton Thanks Josh 👍My first car was a 2.0 V4 Consul in that colour
WRONG MUSIC from the 40s, cars from the 70s ....only in England, still swingin in L ..
Where is Lefty??
Benedikt Saurer Lefty was there,his car is shown around 3.27 on video
A Ford Granada that was sold in America is essentialy a different car with the same name on it.
Mark 1 a far far better car. I had mark 1 3 litre wire Essex engine far superior to the Koln crap
