Corgi 1/43 Ford Granada MkII (Series 2) 2.8i, Graphite Grey VA12409
Ford launched the Mk2 Granada in early 1977, although production had actually commenced in Cologne in December 1976. Unlike the Mk1, the Mk2 was never produced in the UK. Although it was based on the platform of the Mk1, and used its basic suspension layout, the bodyshell was all new and had carefully developed aerodynamics which made it very stable at speed; one of the reasons it was so popular with police forces all over Europe. The entire Mk2 Granada range was revised in late 1981 with major alterations to the suspension settings, interior trim and sound deadening. It remained on sale in this form until being replaced by the Mk3 in 1985.
