Ford Granada Mark II 2,0 L



 My second Ford was like this. The color was the same too. Ford Granada Mark II 2.0 L, model 1979.

 I lived in Sweden when I bought the Granada. The year was 1988. It was my fourth car. I had previously owned a Mazda 1300 (which I crashed), a Ford Cortina (model 1968) and a Datsun 180 B (model 1974 if I remember correctly). The Datsun was the only one I drove significantly. I traded the Granada for a BMW 318i in 1989.

 The car had a pleasantly soft chassis. So it was no rally car! In addition, the straight 2.0 engine of that time in a car that big was quite inefficient. But it was suitable for leisurely cruising.

 In any case, it was a great car in the opinion of a poor boy from a rural area cottage. And it was nice to drive it from Sweden to my home village on summer vacation. How proud I was...  <3  :D

Home after...

Kuva
    Home ...and home before  This is my childhood home. It is currently owned by my brothers. They take good care of it. The house is in good condition. They have also kept the fields in good condition and have not planted a forest on them ♥  The house is located in a beautiful location in peaceful surroundings.  I visit there now and then.
