In short
A die-cast 1:18 scale model of the Ford Granada Coupé Series II in period-correct Light Blue Metallic, the final and only generation of Granada's two-door fastback, built by Touring Modelcars.
Ford of Europe introduced the Granada in 1972 as the flagship executive car for Western European markets, replacing the long-running Consul and Zephyr range. The Series II facelift arrived in 1974, bringing a revised grille, updated lighting clusters and refined trim details that kept the Granada competitive through to 1977. Touring Modelcars captures the 1975 specification in die-cast metal at 1:18, in the Light Blue Metallic finish that typified the era's executive colour palette.
Ford's European Executive Fastback: The Granada Coupé
Built at Ford's Cologne plant and sold across Western Europe including the UK, the Granada Mk I offered saloon, estate and Coupé body styles. The Coupé — a two-door fastback — gave the range a sportier stance while sharing the platform and running gear of its four-door siblings. When the Mk II Granada arrived in 1977, no Coupé variant followed: the Series II Coupé of 1974–1977 remains the sole fastback chapter in Granada history.
Light Blue Metallic and the Mid-1970s Executive Palette
Metallic paint was a prestige option across the Granada range, and Light Blue Metallic sat firmly within the factory colour choices positioned to appeal to the executive buyer of the mid-1970s European market. The finish reflects the Granada's deliberate placement as a premium Ford product — a car sold on refinement and road presence rather than outright performance. The 1975 model year falls squarely within the Series II production window of 1974–1977, and the colour reads as entirely authentic to that specification.
Touring Modelcars: Die-Cast at 1:18 Scale
Touring Modelcars specialises in European classic car replicas rendered in resin and die-cast metal at 1:18 scale. This Granada Coupé Series II is executed in die-cast metal, a construction well suited to the clean, uncluttered lines of the fastback body. At 1:18, the model delivers shelf presence that does justice to a substantial executive machine.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Ford Granada Coupé Series II?
The Ford Granada Mk I was launched in 1972 as Ford of Europe's flagship executive car, replacing the Consul and Zephyr range. The Series II facelift appeared in 1974 with revised grille and lighting. The Coupé was a two-door fastback variant; no Coupé was offered on the Mk II, so the Series II (1974–1977) is the last of the line.
Who made this 1:18 scale model?
The model is produced by Touring Modelcars, a brand that focuses on European classic car replicas in die-cast and resin at 1:18 scale.
What material is the model made from?
The model is constructed in die-cast metal at 1:18 scale.
Is the Light Blue Metallic finish accurate for a mid-1970s Granada?
Yes. Metallic paint was a factory prestige option on the Granada range in the mid-1970s, and Light Blue Metallic is consistent with the colour palette offered to executive buyers in the Series II production period of 1974–1977.
