Can't be bad for the money Barry. God it looks in better nick and cleaner then my scorp (soon to be repaired and polished). 
Have you bought it because when Ellie took you and the dog home from the pub YOU had to travel in the back of the van?

Just could not resist, 19 years old 31,000 miles. Can't be many about, let alone with 30,000. And it does have genuine mileage, last owner had it ten years and did an av of 1500 a year  I was prepared to pay a bit more (350 maybe) but no one else bid

Trust you to get the bargains, Barry. No - actually - you deserve a slice of good fortune mate.
Can we look out for the van on eBay? I, for one, would like to see you make a zonking profit on the deal

Nice motor Barry. I had one exactly the same colour on a C reg 4x4. Excellent drive and so much smoother than the 2.9 which replaced it on the later D regs
Baz
PS,
Posted the parcel to you today by recorded delivery so may be there tomorrow or Monday

Hi Baz.... just a little info for you. The granada 2.8 rocker covers are alloy. I dont know why as they are steel in the capri 2.8. However....... capri boyz cry out for them and i used to sell a pair for around £80 and that was 8 years ago......... makes trhe car a little cheaper if you change them
Cheers Nick

Waders, first of all glad to see you back here and second nice Granny, almost as nice as my Bros,
He has only done 15,000 in the 15 years he has owned it with a little customising as you can see.
Hope to meet you at Weston.
