Launched in March 1972, the Granada succeeded the British Ford Zephyr and the German P7-series as Ford's European executive car offering, and completed the integration of Ford's British and German model ranges. Mechanically, the European Granada conformed to Ford convention, the initial range using the Ford Essex V4 unit in 2. 0L displacement, and the Essex V6 engine in 2. 5 and 3. 0L capacities. The V4 was later replaced by the Pinto unit. The Granada was available as a four-door Saloon, a five-door Estate, and a two-door Fastback Coupé. The model soon became popular for private hire, fleet, and police use. It was also converted into limousine and hearse versions by the British companies Coleman Milne and Woodall Nicholson. In 1973, Ford introduced an upmarket Ghia model, with a unique grille. This would be joined for 1974 by a Coupe - for the UK, this would be a Ghia-only model, but in mainland Europe it would be available across all specifications. The MkI Granada Ghia essentially offered one package. Metallic paint was standard, with Black paint a special order. An array of vinyl roof colours were available to complement a customer's paint choice along with the Ghia's velour upholstery. The Ghia trim also included a tachometer, oil pressure and ammeter gauges, dual horns, leather covered steering wheel, a rear centre armrest, inertia reel seatbelts, tinted glass, halogen headlights, a digital clock in a centre console, a push button radio with twin speakers, a manual tilt sunshine roof, a manual remote adjust driver's door mirror wood veneer surfaces and cappings and a cloth headliner. Early MkI Ghias came with steel hubcaps similar to normal cars but colour matched to the car, but from the 1976 facelifted cars came with Ronal alloy wheels. 3. 0 Litre Ghia models received power steering as as standard.
