A Mk2 2.8 Granada Ghia X
non injection auto, bought for £100, no MoT or tax... you can see where this is going
Stopped for an MoT on the way home... failed on rust on the chassis rail above the diff, several holes in the floor, inoperative handbrake, blown exhaust and that was upto the point the radiator exploded over the tester
Took three goes to get the welding done to the testers satisfaction
then on the way to get tax, literally minutes after the MoT pass, some bint buried her car into the side of it at a junction, taking out both doors, B post and front wing... fortunately, being a Granada, it was bent back into shape with minimal fuss and had different coloured doors until I scrapped it...
Did I mention the fact that the roof consisted of between 6 and 15 mm of filler, to the point that even the sunroof had been skimmed so it was flush with the rest of it
and yes, it had lifted in places and was coming away in chunks when I bought it
just the laquer peeling off, my yaris
Once MoT'd and taxed, it managed 16mpg on a run, drive plate was missing a tooth or four, so starting was hit and miss, not to mention having to use a trolley jack handle to smack/short the starter solenoid into life... it went alright, until it stalled if you braked when it was hot
A121LKE, you truly were an absolute dog...
