[Hudzoyne]

Well now I have bought another R32 skyline I no longer need this

Mileage: 56k but could be 156k? they don't have another digit on the trip. Doesnt matter though different running gear.
MOT: July 2014
TAX : May 2014

Engine & Gearbox
- Ford Granada Cosworth 24v 2.9 V6 Engine Conversion - 200hp, Ultra reliable and easy 30mpg+
- Superchipped ECU
- Freeflow airfilter and exhaust
- Manual late stronger type 9 from an XR4i
- XR4i clutch copes with the power absolutely fine
- Lightened 2.8 flywheel so revs very quickly
- Brand new external fuelpump setup using cosworth pump
- 3.89 Ratio welded diff to really wake it up through the gears but does come with the original 3.46 open diff if sideways is not your thing! Very quick and easy to change.

Suspension
- Gaz adjustable shocks front and back, not very old at all
- Lowering springs
- Front end is fully polybushed, feels great to drive not sloppy like most granadas are now!

Bodywork
- Looks like brand new front wings fitted and painted along with bonnet recently
- On the whole very solid and no rot in the sills or underneath so no threat to an MOT any time soon!
- Rear arches are going a bit crusty but an easy cut out and replace job if you want it mint(worst one is pictured)

Interior
- Executive grey leather interior, stitching has been cut around drivers seat as it has been modified to sit lower as they sit stupidly high with your knees on the steering wheel. Doesnt detract from the overall but makes it 1000x more comfortable and easily restiched if you want.
- Power steering
- 4 electric windows
- Central locking
- Electric sunroof
- Original ford stereo
- Electric Aerial

The car is fantastic. It goes VERY well, easily pulls off the clock(140mph). Regularly returns great fuel economy of 30mpg+ and has fantastic road manners, nice and comfortable, sits idling in traffic absolutely fine with no overheating etc. Unfortunately looking at the history of the car it appears it was once a CAT C write off but not being funny what old ford isnt these days? There is no signs of damage that I can see and an insurance company will often write an old car off for a broken headlight or window these days!! Don't let this put you off, most sellers wont tell you and let you find out after you buy it!


I am looking for £2000ovno which is very reasonable for a car with all this work in. I have seen similar condition standard ones sell for more and this is far superior! Absolutely not interested in any PX or swaps only a CASH sale.

Car is located in March - Cambridgeshire and you can call or text me on : 07964962146

I don't mean to sound an but please please please read the ad before calling as I have had countless time wasters calling me up and asking questions which are already answered in the Ad.

Surely nobody just looks at the pictures and goes "yeah i'll give him a call"

[Hudzoyne]

Somebody must want a solid, on the road granada with a cosworth engine! No sensible offers refused as it needs to go.

I need to stop looking at this

I had a cortina with that engine in once, drove it all the way to Serbia and back with no problems, they're actually more reliable than the cologne V6 that was there (not that there were any particular problems with them of course), as well as almost twice as powerful and at least as economical - in short a very successful conversion!

Yours looks great value for the work done and the spec, good luck with the sale

[Hudzoyne]

Reduced. Need it gone, its hogging garage space where the 32 should be!

[biffy1984]

Worth every penny in my opinion. Bad time of year to be selling though. Hope it finds a good home.

[Hudzoyne]

Yeah I think it is mostly down to the time of the year unfortunately

[keithrg]

thats a spit of the one I learned to drive in (could even be it) good luck with sale
