That zodiac is unusual,only ever seen another one.

peltor

And whats more unusual is had the wheels off the back of the zodiac and guess what disc brakes on the rear !!! must have been some car in its day

carchaeologist

The MK1 Granada hearse is actually a late 1974 car and the Zodiac a 69.

Doesn't the MK1 Granada look so much bigger, good looking, and imposing than the others !

The R5 is a fab spot, 1979 Dublin reg.

I had thought this too..though surely not.I have a feeling they will be stipped for parts and engine transplants..it would be a sin to scrap the MK1 and the Zodiac.
What can you do though..cant save them all!

Hey granadamad, ever have a Granada Perana ? - ( Ford Granada Perana saloon,76 P reg,5.0 litre winsor 302,4 speed manual,very rare sought after vehicle as was only made in South Africa, Superb original condition,even has air conditioning,low mileage came from private collection,must be seen and driven to appreciate £7995 )

There's a 'mate' of yours on the Rock Rd in Blackrock - has a Red Mk ll 2.8i 410 IZC, and i've seen a Mk ll Estate and Scorpio 24v outside as well. Owned a brown 'Chausser' estate myself and a Falcon LTD WZY 649.
