This Ford Granada MkII 2.8i Ghia Diecast Model Car is Jade green and has working wheels and also comes in a display case. It is made by Vanguards and is 1:43 scale (approx. 10cm / 3.9in long). The Mk1 Granada was produced from 1972-1977 in both the UK and Germany with 123 -368 being made in the UK alone. However - rust and banger racing has destroyed many and few survive - Ghias in this unusual but striking colour being especially rare.

First registered in October 1977 - this Ghia's early history is unknown but it was purchased as a complete and running car by Gary Davison from Ryhope in Sunderland on March 8th - 1997. Gary's father Ian had run a Granada Coupe when he was growing up and he'd inherited an enthusiasm for V6 Mk1 Granadas.

Tragically - Gary passed away in 2006 - aged just 37 - because of a heart condition. Thus his son - the current owner Lewi Davison - inherited the car when he was just 11 years old.

Diecast models are manufactured to various scales based on measurements taken from the actual vehicles. The rule to remember is the higher the scale number, the smaller the model!

So, 1:2 scale quite ltierally means it is 1/2 (half) the size and 1:4 scale means it is 1/4 (quarter) the size.  Here is a rough guide to the size of our models although this will vary depending on the size of the actual vehicle. Please note that the scale and size of models differs per department. Please refer to the individual product page to find out the estimated size of the actual model you would like to purchase.
