Right Hand Drive Models

[Jeff Roblin]

Unknown to myself prior to now, Ford manufactured RH drive versions of the 1975-80 Granada & Monarch. Two current examples are on Ebay.UK currently.........

Item number: 280393807701
Item number: 220476417852

Where our radios are located, are 2 additional round gauges. These are present in both cars pictured and therefore I would consider to be stock.

There is an odd rectangular item on the passenger side that I can't identify.

The remainder of the controls appear to be reversed carbon copies of our own cars.

Most interesting- I was not aware of RH units- but I was aware that both the Canadian and US government had an arrangement with Ford in the 70's for supplying upscale cars for their embassy senior staff and diplomats, in Europe and South America. That's why we find as many Granadas and particularly Monarchs in Europe. They weren't imported by ordinary citizens. The GMV's seem to be made to order, available with many options, and of an overall size to provide elegance and yet compact and nimble enough for Europe's ordinary roads & streets.
