Yep - I had a '73 Ghia metallic green one of these (with a manual box) in the early 70s - good comfortable motor - cruise all day at 100mph+

Bought this when my TR6 was becoming difficult for family needs (fitting wife + 2 kids in car seats + "baggage" in boot & on boot rack often took longer than journey!)

Granada was easy - chuck wife + 2 kids in, baggage into boot - 5 minutes. ;)

Highly underestimated car - plus autochokes always worked fine on mine.  Only issues inlet manifold gasket died @ 40K, and original exhaust had to be cut off as fitted before rear subframe by factory!
