FORD GRANADA Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 4,576 FORD GRANADAs remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 4,900 in 2014 Q3 — only 93% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 324 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 28 (0.6%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 73% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the GRANADA
The European Ford Granada is an executive car manufactured by Ford Europe from 1972 until 1994. The first-generation model was produced from 1972 to 1976 at Ford's German factory in Cologne and at its British factory in Dagenham. In 1976, production switched entirely to Germany. The original version was replaced in 1977 by a second-generation model which was produced until 1985. From 1985 to 1994, the Granada name was used, in the United Kingdom and Ireland only, for a third-generation model which was sold in other European markets as the Ford Scorpio and in North America as the Merkur Scorpio.
