Absolutely this, my old man had an S plate 2.8i GLS and then an X plate 2.8i Ghia, fantastic cars.I much preferred the MKII Grananda
My dad had the "sweeney' 3L ghia, much later I had a scorpio Cosworth estate, which was a fabulous car.
£45 K today allowing for inflationAnd £15k for the Scorpio - that's still proper money!
I had the last Scorpio (Ultima Cosworth 24v)
To be fair, in the days of the Granada unless you had very deep pockets it was an easy decision, for the money of a bog standard wholly poverty spec BMW or Merc neither of which even had a radio nor aerial as standard equipment never mind electric windows you could have a Mk 3 Granada Scorpio with every bit of kit you could think of - even electric rear seat adjustment never mind front - coupled with a V6 automatic and many did.My mates dad had a Scorpio around the same time my dad had a Mercedes 280E and preferred the Scorpio.
