Against: Needs recommissioning November 1983-registered Mk2 has been laid up in a garage for the last 17 years. There’s no history to substantiate the 40,000 recorded miles, but the solid, unwelded condition, plus the untouched interior that’s devoid of damage, point to it being genuine. Seller has turned over the 2.3-litreV6 on the key, but it’s now jammed with one possible diagnosis being that it’s spun a bearing. Believed to have had only two owners, the Granada is in highly original condition, but as a bonus comes with a set of seven-spoke RS alloys.
