I have owned a 1984 'Granny' since 1993
My first car, spent more on it than I have spent on FUBAR!!
Going on ebay this week due to moving to Canada and buying a house with a single garage!!
All the work I have had done to it was completed by early 1998
full body bare metal respray in Jag's Antigua blue (pearlescent metallic-lovely)
bumpers are colour matched (not chrome)
rear 2.8i spoiler fitted-and colour matched with a brake light mounted in it
engine rebuilt by specialised engines in essex, 3.2L stage 3 tuned fully blueprinted
(been absolutely faultless)
Modified Sierra 4x4 gearbox-5 speed manual
1 off prop by reco props
Spax shocks and springs fitted all round (lowered 25mm-doesnt looked 'slammed')
AP 4 pot calipers with vented grooved and drilled discs, my best mate reckons it defys physics stopping as quickly as it does!!
Recon steering rack
new fuel tank
Pioneer head unit speakers, amp and cd changer-but system does not fill the boot!!
i.e not a chav system
Has front seats from a rare Granada sport (Recaro buckets designed for the Granny!)
Has no MOT as I have no time to get it done-I fly to Canada Thurs and moving is far more important
still runs beautifully-I got a 6 sec 0-60 with a load of mates in it!! actually returns 28mpg if driven 'sensibly'!!
The car, though cost me an absolute fortune, actually now owes me nothing!!
will be going on ebay for 99p (I might just put a reserve on it!!)
pictures to follow after the weekend
P.S
Can you add pics to an ebay article after it has started??
If only it was Roman Bronze......
