He also drives around an old Jag and owns British Motorcycles. Pretty certain he must have a vest with the George Cross on.

I love old Granadas. So there... I had each and every version up to the MK3 in all flavours from basic 2.0L to Grannie Ghia X and enjoyed each one. I had a lovely MK1 3.0 litre Ghia in white with a brown vinyl roof that was a brilliant car and I sold it to a wedding car company. Ran a MK 2 2.8 'X' for a while as a company smoker and had no complaints at all and ran a MK3 2.0 GL for a couple of years as I bought it for my then wife. I would trust any of these old Fords about 10 times more than the equivalent BL product any day of the week. I ran a variety of SD1s usually V8s and each and every one was a pile of shit (amusing shit, but still shit) from the early cars with their inbuilt fish tanks in the glove box and door cards that stayed in the hole when the rest of the door was opened, through to late series 2s with dashboards that told fibs and flashed lights at you constantly and dissolving cooling systems.
I did call a halt after the MK3 as the one that came after was just a step too far in the 'ugly bug' stakes.

I am not saying you should buy this Ghosty, but I honestly can't see a reason why you shouldn't.

And don't say the leather seats, they are the best bit of the car.

The Junkwoman forbade me to buy a Lincoln before I'm 70, so it would suit Ghosty perhaps.
