Advertise it on ebay. Include as many photos as you can. Make sure you state that the buyer will need to trailer it away.

Someone will take it, probably for spares.

My brother sold his 1983, admittedly with MOT, for 5k on ebay and didn`t take long to sell. seems to be a parts problem with those so it should go fairly quick I think

I can still remember noticing, during the early 70s, that our local mini cab company had equipped their drivers with brand new Granadas; presumably the Mark 1.

For the model to stand out in the eyes of someone like me who, at the time, was totally uninterested in cars, they must have been something special.

Unlike anything else on the road: big, powerful, plush and above all, good to look at, especially in black.

I too loved the mk 2 Granada, especially the 2.8 auto, this should fetch decent money if it isn't a rotter, might well be worth getting it trailered to an MOT station so buyers have it confirmed it isn't rotten as a pear underneath, plus a much easier sale when they can put cash in your hand jump in and drive away.

Might be worth getting it moved somewhere else for 3 or 4 months till the winter is over, few people want to go inpecting old cars fully in the freezing cold, and then have to trailer it away.

Was the car special to your cousin? Presumably so if it was kept for so long. How do you feel about the car on a personal level? I ask because, if you sell it as non-roadworthy and in need of trailoring away, sadly there is a very good chance it will end up with the banger racer yobs, who will strip it to flog the bits and then wreck it. Big old barges like the Granada are hugely popular with their sort, and sadly as the supply of them dwindles they remain as keen as ever to continue destroying as many as they can get their hands on. You may be glad just to get rid of the thing of course, but if you have an interest in its continued existance, it would be worth some caution as to who you sell it to.

My Dad used to have a mk2 granada estate, a 1981 2.8GL. He still misses it to this day, despite it costing quite a lot in repairs and having sold it in about 1988!.

I agree with others that this definitely needs to be offered to someone who will restore it, or at least use it to keep other granada's on the road. Classic Ford magazine would probably be worth a try, also try an online search for classic Ford owner clubs or forums.
