Yer i got 2frog eyes both sleepers piss on a lot of modern cars with the mods they had they don't take piss out of them once i leave them behind Lol 🤣 and got one of these another sleeper love live the granny's
I had 9 Granada Company cars, starting with a 1978 2.8 ghia injection. The last one was a 1993 Cosworth Scorpio like this and was far and away the best of them all. Those seats, well, nothing has ever been as comfortable. Blow up the lumbar supports, pull the head support against your collar, engage cruise control, turn on classic fm and waft along in supreme comfort. They has so much technology and safety that they almost drove on their own with minimum finger tip control. I never had a bug eyed model , which I suspect was equally comfortable. Later I had a 4.2 S Type Jag, which was rubbish, and I longed for Fords to make a replacement in the style of this car. To this day they never had!!!
I've recently seen this car, its in a sorry state. The reg in this video must be a semi personal one as it had a different reg when I saw it. All the badges are wrong on this car, with the exception of the grill badge. The Cosworth was never badged as a Ghia. The boot badges are off the earlier mk3. The paint job wasn't bad, but they hadn't bothered to do the door shuts, the windscreen is starting to come out. The additional wood stickers are non standard. The rear electric seat still doesn't work. The gearbox has depressurised. It still has the electric tape and cable ties over the engine sensor cables, where the cables have fraid as shown.
Gorgeous example! A mate of mine once had a manual gearbox version of one of these in Diamond white. Apart from the way it looked, it was ludicrously fast! Scared the living out of me !
Will become as collectable as mk1&mk2's soon.. I have owned all inc mk3 facelift and in my opinion the mk3 facelift was by far superior to them all &well ahead of it's time. Being a Cosworth makes this a extremely desirable car to own as in a few years prices will go through the roof!!
Nah. no one cared for the Scorpio. Me myself have 2 4x4 that cost me £400 each some years ago. im not in it for the money beacause they aint worth shite and never in MY lifetime ever will. 😛 scandinavia.
My dad had a blue one. He loved the car. He said out of all the cars to get he will get another Granada Scorpio cosworth because it is fast and has everything in it. I would love it if he can get one in the future 😔
man I had that car on an "L" plate a Ghia X the sills were rusted out though, cracking car best Ford ever made in my opinion - that wind noise though lol
IMO, a 2.0i manual is better than a 2.9 12v auto. 0-60 is better. Fuel economy much better. My dad had a 2.0i GL and I now own a 2.9 12v V6. V6 sounds better but it isn't that quick really.
@@lewis72 I’ve found the same thing with the mk3 Mondeo, I’ve had the 2.5 V6 and now got a 2.0, the V6 sounds nicer but performance wise there isn’t much difference at all. The thing I’ve found with V6’s is they are lacking a bit of torque and all the power is right at the top end without much mid range grunt which is where you want it for day to day driving.
Wow these were the dogs bollocks back in the day! Just don’t look at the stats though - slower than the current 520d and uses 3 times as much fuel. Sounds much better, of course 😀
Bmw F10 520Da 0 - 100 km/h 8.1s. Scorpio Cosworth mk1 8.0s :D With manual transmission these scorpios accelerate nicely around 6,5-7s and are sporty big cars even by todays standards. Fuel consumption, wasted horsepower and lack of durability on scorpio autobox is a big minus. I owned a e39 525iA and sure it was nice to drive maybe slightly better than scorpio but alot of disappointments like complete useless headlights, slower than scorpio 2.9i 12v manual box or cosworth auto, engine failure with only 320tkm on it and could fit my fist through the bottom on front of rear wheels...
Nice example, but I reckon it's a Ghia rather than a Scorpio (which was just a trim level until the frog-eye facelift). The Scorpio badge is in completely the wrong place, and a Scorpio wouldn't say Granada on the boot lid. The Ghia badges on the doors are in the correct place as well. Sold these for years back in the day, by the way. Most 24vs were Scorpio models, and the Ghias were rarer even then, so an interesting car nonetheless, and good to see one preserved like this. They were quick in their day, but I'd imagine the performance is pretty underwhelming by today's standards. Bet that old BOA still sounds good though.
Nope and @Mr100duke nope. _In the United Kingdom and Ireland, following the initial market resistance towards the Sierra, something which had been attributed to its radical styling, Ford elected to keep the Granada name in those markets, making the Scorpio effectively a Mk III Granada. The "Scorpio" name was instead used as a trim designation rather than the model name, being positioned higher than Ford's traditional Ghia top of the range model. These models were marketed as "Granada Scorpio", but were badged simply as "Scorpio", with an elongated "Granada" underneath._ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Scorpio#First_generation_(1985%E2%80%931994)
It does look like a Ghia with some Scorpio badges but I don't know what trim levels the 24v V6 was available with. This September 1992 brochure shows the 24v V6 only available on the Scorpio spec. level. www.flickr.com/photos/61090099@N04/7395845908/in/album-72157630020827301/ The guy trying to sell it though is clueless.
@@chriscross8398 Yes, I did spot that too. My '87 Scorpio has elec. rear seats. Why anyone would cover it with Ghia badges (or "Guy-er" as mispronounced) is beyond me.
Lewis72 I agree. It's such a mint car and it should be kept original. It's madness why they did it. It's a shame so very few of them are still on the road.
I'm guessing the owners were in their late 50's with too much time and money - wasting it on cheap bling !! .... There's no need for all that aftermarket tat. ... I bet they had their own parking space at Halfords ?
Those seats look ridiculously comfortable!
markequinox and the are!
Better than the sad looking frog eyed Scorpio that came later.
I love the frog-eyed Scorpio. It looked so American!

The thing is, the Scorpio was definitely a "better" car, I'd still rather have a Granada.
Now that is definitely a superb classic ford scorpio in silver which is one of my most favourite coloured cars absolutely beautiful
I used to own the 2.9i Ghia which I enjoyed very much. This is leagues ahead though. What a beauty. :)

Im a Jamaican wnd i love these cars
I had 3 off them. All v6 really nice car to drive and to see. Also very reliable
My favourite car!
So much nicer than the monstrosity that replaced it...
Frist time see Grander cosworth cool fast car 👍
My dad had a blue one. He loved the car. He said out of all the cars to get he will get another Granada Scorpio cosworth because it is fast and has everything in it. I would love it if he can get one in the future 😔
Had 2 back in the day superb cars.
Beautiful Car
beauy. i had a d reg, j red and l reg models, all were hatchback. quality and comfort level was german standard back then.
Yah i had a D.
D717PNC
PNC stood for Pretty Nice Car
Машина суппер! Не суетись,спокойней,жизнь удалась!)))
I raced an Audi A4 estate in a hatchback version of one of these nearly 20yrs ago, the old Granny held it's own. Typical Audi driver being a prick!
man I had that car on an "L" plate a Ghia X the sills were rusted out though, cracking car best Ford ever made in my opinion - that wind noise though lol
i have now invested in a new mic and windsock on my later videos 😎
@@valentinecars good idea will improve quality massively :)
Have one of these sat in my yard it’s been in the family for years gonna restore it soon
Beautiful
My dads dream car
i had a beautiful white one, Shame about fuel prices
I loved these back in the day then they brought out those ugly frog eye one's
BOA Motor unzerstörbar, super limosine der Scorpio nach Granada kommt für mich der Scorpio, auch als normaler 2.9 V6 super
I have a ice white one ( hatch) 38k......lovely motors.....
I might be in a majority of just one but I preferred the looks of the hatchback derivative. Not sure this was ever offered with the 24 valve engine.
I owned a White hatchback 24v while my brother had a metallic Green saloon 24v. Mine looked so much better.
@@nelligannelligan8585 I agree completely. The 5 door was far prettier.
Love the wind noise...sort it out dude!
Amateur video. Whoever bought this is obviously stupid
Top und heute ein olteimer 🏁
I had a 1990 Granada Scorpio, lovely car. The only problem was I had the 2.0 engine rather than the V6.
one of my fav cars of all time i bought myself a 1990 2.0 model years ago when only 4 years old i loved it back in the day 👍
IMO, a 2.0i manual is better than a 2.9 12v auto. 0-60 is better. Fuel economy much better.

Mint!!
Fantastic example - much better than the ‘frog eye’ version. But so windy - the sound is terrible!
did the cosworth come with the wood pack inside ?
No cosworth is engine Scorpio is the trim level it’s the fully loaded

100% Granada Scoripo 24v not the Ghia as they didn't do it in this spec. It's got the electric rear seats and that engine was only in the Scoripo.

The plate belongs to a VW??
Ghia means "Top of the range", full equiped
onlycars Don’t forget Ghia X !
@@iAMChrisCC I'm from Spain and Ghia X appear in mk2 Mondeo, in 2004, in England the names of ranges work different!!
No, it doesn't. In UK "Scorpio" was used as a trim level and it was above Ghia.

Registration comes up as VW Passat?
Be a private plate took off it

How much is the Granada m8.
I take it this is sold?
Nice car. But get it away from the wind, please.
Trip Computer.... Ahead of the game in 1992? .... The R25 had that in 1983.....🙄
Yes, my 1985 Rover 2600 Vanden Plas had a trip computer.

Look don't listen, that would be the point.
That wood-look though... Jeez... please get rid of it
That's a 2.9
That wind noise is the only reason I disliked this video
i dont care bout ur fucking door shit. does it have an engine. is it original. does it sound like a fucking diesel! prob. good night!
Ford did make some iconic cars back in the 70’s 80’s .. this along with its subsequent replacement wasn’t one of them ... 💩 👎
