Ford Granada 40th Anniversary bash at the Ace Cafe

[grifterkid]

Well what can I say(?!), this was a cracker of a meet... To be honest I still cannot believe I pulled it off! To be fair though, I could not have done it without those who came along...

The sun shone, the motors were glorious and the people were great so it all added up to make a meet that was truly memorable to all who attended...

It was great to see so many well turned out cars with so many dedicated, enthusiastic owners... It completely blew me away to be honest!

Anyhow, I'll let these smudges do the talking now. There are quite a few so get yourself comfortable...!















































































































































































































































Due to the success of this event I am hoping to make it a yearly shin-dig so, until next time... ;D

Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a mk3 2.8i estate!!

You've posted all the pictures twice though!

[HARDCORE]

YES! Love it, soooo wish I was there!

Consul 3000 GT was always my favourite, biggest engine and not a lot of kit, wonderful.
Excellent post, really took me back, thanks.

This is awesome, great stance and lush wheels. Although I'd like to see it without the wheel arch trims.......

+1, although for me I'd also lose the 'two up/two down' spotlamp arrangement that appears to be de riguer for Mark 2 Granny ownership. I think the front looks much cleaner without them.

loving the interlopers (love the scort)

why is wpu 411s ringing a bell?)

love the coupe on the truck

[Granadaman72]

Fantastic never seen so many Granada's in one place! Wish id have been there, thanks for the pics Shame there were no early mk3's they seem to have all but disappeared these days. Nice to see a few pre face mk2's especially the blue over silver special edition, is it a Sapphire?

[cornish]

Great day....... yeah its my mates sapphire, not many left now. Hope it is annual thing.

Sad I couldnt get up there with my Mk1 pickup - would be nice if there was another meet next year (please).
- btw. I'm on the lookout for a Mk2 Estate for my daily driver. Anything for sale at The Ace?

[fogey]

What a fantastic turnout - you must be well chuffed I'll have a Mk 1 please in Gloss black

[AB car pix]

SO many cool cars. I really wanted to get to this, but sadly did not....

I know I would have ended up buying a Granada before the week was out though if I had gone... ;D

[bortaf]
