I've got fond memories of my grandfather's metallic bronze estate.  '72 model, fallaway dash and lots of lovely plastic wood to go with the brown vinyl interior. Scrumpty!

Think I would slightly disagree with the description about it being rust-free, the sills look like either a less than decent repair or plain bodged and the inner f/wings could do with careful lookover too. 

Round here is an very tidy bright red 2-door XL, and I know someone who has a mkIV Crusader in a lock up.  Lord knows what condition it's in though, not been even looked at for many years.  Always liked the Granada too, lovely big old motor those were. :)

It's gone up a tad. I've left my max bid which is higher than shown but expect to be outbid before the auction ends....so be it, you have to stick to your maximum price. I can get welding done very well & cheaply just across the road.

If you do win it, give 'Tonytex' a slap when you get there.

He took the piss out of a 'Bayer who asked a question for not spelling "Auto" correctly (a simple typo), yet the 'tard thinks "Excellent" is "EXTALANT" and "Questions" is "QUESGENS".


I know he is only selling for a mate, but at least make some sort of effort with the advert.  >:(

Hi Tony. A good 2dr 2.0 GXL is pricey. It's nostalgia for me. I remember my Dad getting a new white 1600 L, RPX 358K. I was 8 years old!!!! ;D
