Hi Gaz,
Yes, used to own a 2.9 mk3 scorpio. Was fitting a leather interior the other day (wasn't all that keen on the recaro half leather she came with) and yes she is a ghia.
Is yours an ultima?

Yes know what you mean about the granada bug.Grew up being driven round in a brand new 1972 consul L. First car i owned was a 1976 granada 3L GL. Then a 1984 2.8 Ghia X, then 1990 2.9 Scorpio. Not sure what I am going to do in about 5/6 years time when current car needs replacing.
