Ford cortina/Granada ?? for sale

RobbieMc

Hi Gang,

While heading to Kilbarrack last night, I passed a dark coloured Ford for sale on the Malahide road. It's on a B Reg UK plate. It is for sale(so say the sign in the window)
nothing else known as I was passing at speed, no picture. Exact location is the roundabout on the Malahide road(R107) with Blunden Drive.

Seen that car a few times and something looks very wrong about it. its a mk iv tina(roman numerals are not my strong point mk 4) but it looks wrong if you know what i mean????? might take a closer look tomorrow when im in clarehall

bugsntinas

in what way does it look wrong?

corktina

well if its a tina..it should be on a Y suffix at the latest (although there was a couple of A reg but no B regs...) if itsa Mk5....as its a Mk4 it should be around T reg.....lets see aphoto...must be a Granada surely....

I live locally and I've been tempted to drop in. She looks a little rough but it would be a great base of a project for someone. The guy is spot on, and is up for bargaining. Just watch out for the dogs - ankle biters so they are :P
