>..pure Dagenham. Ditto early Granada models. My father had two, V6 3.0 GXL models.
I had a MkI 3.0 GXL (reg. SS 746) in SW Africa which I'm pretty sure was assembled in Port Elizabeth. They were well known for regular failure of the rubber 'doughnut' coupling the prop to the diff. Easy but awkward fix if you didn't have a pit or lift.
A friend had a Perana Ghia coupe which was a lovely blue-collar long distance cruiser (if you planned your fuel stops).
Really nice motors in their day.
