- This film tells the story of a lavish soiree in which a wealthy tycoon presents his son with the all new Granada Mark II, to gasps of admiration from the well-heeled party guests. We then see all aspects of the car's sophistication and performance through the eyes of various guests and the delighted new owner himself.

Truly this was a lost art in car advertising, no expense spared
Great film. Great car in its day,,,love this dated tripe type of film....such nonsense it’s a delight. More please...?
My Alltime Favourite Ford
What an amazing piece of work, beautifully produced, and establishes the target market very nicely. Tells the story without a single word of voiceover too!
Perfectly summed up
You mean the fantasy target market?
I like the early Mk2 Granada with the slimmer bumpers and black plastic grille. Seems less fussy than the facelift model. Both wonderful cars though, my dad owned a few Mk2 Granny’s and I have fond memories of them.
Great looking car although I prefer the mark 1. Love how the F4 phantom turned into a Jaguar and then a buccaneer. Nice editing.
I had a 2.8 Ghia X Beautiful car Ever so comfortable to drive
Superb car Dave, and the Granada sapphire two tone was also to die for..I was a young Saturday boy at the local Ford showrooms at that time. Happy memories!
ein toller reisewagen 😀
A U.K. spec. 1979 diamond white Granada 2.8 Ghia was the first car I ever bought at 18 yrs of age in 1984 (FPU 606T). I then bought a facelift X-reg. 2.8 Injection Auto in Cardinal Red (VRK 282X). In hindsight, I think I now prefer the cleaner Ines of the smaller bumper original ‘77-‘81 cars…
A very early or even pre-production example judging by the poor fit of the rear bumper and body colour B-Posts… In England we originally got the L, GL, iGL iS, Ghia, i Ghia trim levels and extremely underpowered 2.1 diesel models for use as taxis. The iS was effectively a L with the fuel injected V6 engine and a few extras e.g. tachometer, central console and armrest plus TRX alloys and tyres. The non-Ghia 2.8i models were then amalgamated into just one 2.8 iGLS model in 1979.
Slightly bizarre looking pre-production car used at the start (rear bumper doesn’t fit, with extra rubber ‘fillers’ unpaired door frames etc) still, I was happy to get a Steak dinner at the Berni Inn for my birthday in 1978, so a New ‘Gran-ah-dah’ was beyond any mortals wildest dreams!
These weren't bad. Came with the 2.8 "Cologne" fuel injected engine, same as the Capri. Lots of tail-happy fun in the wet...
Romanticism in advertising got lost ... Or is this just cheesy 😃? Handsome cars nonetheless, I particularly like the GLS-version in green here.
This scene would be repeated in 1998 when a _normal_ dad buys this exact car for his son from the classifieds. ☺
Love the way the son gets a lovely motor as a present,the procedes to take his first drive behaving like a loon ,finding the most rough,rock strewn track,to try to chip its shiny paintwork & wreck the suspension.Looks like he succeeded,as the wheels @ approx 5.20 definitely don't look like the original Ghia alloys!
This is a film, not an advert
In the 90's I nearly swapped my Mk2 Mustang for a 2,8 i Granada on a "B" reg I think black with matching leather and low pro tyres .
