In 1972 Ford replaced its 'Z-cars' with a new pan-European model range launched under the name 'Granada'. Because of 'copyright' issues over the Granada name, the lower-priced models were badged as 'Consul' until 1975. The Granada was almost a scaled up Cortina MkIII, with wishbone front suspension and coil spring rear. The British versions were given Essex V4 and V6 engines, whilst Germany made do with its own V4 engine and Cologne V6 engines. On the UK market only 4-door saloons and a 5-door estate car were sold, but in Germany a 2-door saloon and a stylish 2-door coupe were also sold, the latter coming to the British market in 1975. The Consul name was dropped in 1975 and the new 2-litre Granadas were given the inline four Pinto 2-litre engine. In 1977 a MkII model was introduced with all production shifting to Europe and Cologne V6 engines supplanting the Essex units. There was a restyle in 1982 and production ceased in favour of the Granada MkIII/Scorpion.
