Weasel1984 ◊ 2013-04-28 16:05	So the grille have been taken from the 1982 one?
dsl ◊ 2013-04-28 16:12	I thought this grille was Ghia exclusive from start in 79, then adopted 82 for all versions?? But this looks possibly newer than 79 for film date, although no tints.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2013-04-28 16:27	It had the black one in '79, just checked in the period brochure. And some of this period: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23574881@N06/7529784888/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/triggerscarstuff/5873792441/ Also notable chromed trim around the indicators. The type of the mirror in the one in film cofirms the later one. -- Last edit: 2013-04-28 16:33:47
dsl ◊ 2013-04-28 16:36	OK - dating to 82.

I got the sequence right, but the dates and exact info wrong - should be: "this grille was Ghia exclusive from 82 (ie Sept 81), with a similar big-slatted version without the outer frame adopted from 84 (ie Sept 83) for all versions". Another Ghia (confirmed from plate data, but less trim now as Ghia X was range-topper) spotted at at 01-28-10. DVLA details for EWU 75Y are: Date of Liability 28 07 1994 Date of First Registration 01 01 1983 Year of Manufacture 1983 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2792cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval Not Available Vehicle Excise Duty rate for vehicle -- Last edit: 2013-04-28 17:56:56
Weasel1984 ◊ 2013-04-28 22:57	Damn - don't want to be a pain in... with these grilles ;( , but acc to this dec. '84 brochure, still only in the Ghias(?!)- http://www.flickr.com/photos/61090099@N04/7481606454/in/photostream/
dsl ◊ 2013-04-28 23:24	That's OK - it's the grille format I mean by "a similar big-slatted version without the outer frame adopted from 84 (ie Sept 83) for all versions" although I should have been more precise and (1) dropped the word similar and (2) been clear that Ghia-only grille continued unchanged. You are correct, I thought I was correct but got some details and dates out of step to confuse both of us, but basically we are agreed.
humungus ◊ 2025-07-09 23:57	plate: I "alexed" this as YGY 678Y which all sites agree is a 1983 Ford Granada (registered in January) while InstantCarCheck and AA Car Check also suggest Ghia X Auto. The other one:
