'Granada 2.0 L'



I bought this car from Essex from an advertisement on Ebay, the guy I bought it from was a Granada fanatic with two others including an ultra rare MKI Consul GT; Sweeney style. The car is the 5 speed manual with the 2.0L Pinto engine, I bought this to see if I preferred it to the Fiesta diesel I was using. But unfortunatly it fell far short of expectations; it was comfy enough but it drank fuel and struggled up the hills so I sold it on.

The car when I bought it was only running on 3 cylinders which turned out to be a leaky head gasket but these only take a few hours to sort out and with that done it turned out to be one of the best Pinto's engines I 've ever had; still gutless though!!
