A one off opportunity to acquire a Mk11 Perana Granada 5.0L GHIA - one of only 4 cars thought to have made it into private hands when new and one of 18 cars produced.<br /> <br /> Basil Green Motors in South Africa specialised in taking brand new Fords and substituting the V6 for a V8 for discerning customers that wanted something much faster and more exclusive. He also produced them as interceptor cars for the Police. He is perhaps best known for his earlier Perana Mk1 Capris, and in conjunction with Shelby in the US, was one of only two individuals licensed by the Ford Motor Company to carry out such activities. This is one of the very last cars he built.<br /> <br /> It is a very tidy car that is now having some mechanical Improvements and general niggles addressed, as well as servicing and some minor improvements to get it fully on the road. I have had it on the back burner since I acquired it and been concentrating on other cars since I imported it from South Africa myself last year - it is UK registered as an historic vehicle so tax and MOT exempt. <br /> <br /> All Ford and Basil Green Motors/Perana tags are present and the number on the engine block matches the Perana tag, which is also date stamped ‘1978’ in line with the year of manufacture of the car itself. A copy of the original South African log book is also on file and matches the above.<br /> <br /> I have always liked the Mk11 Granada but simply have too many cars and am now making some very difficult decisions to reduce my collection. Perana Fords do seem to be steadily increasing in value and this one is for an enthusiast to take forward who is looking for something special and exclusive. As with all such things, rarity has its price. Please call for more information and a chat.
