1975 FORD GRANADA GHIA COUPE.
This car was originally white and first registered on the 3rd of September 1975 in Pembrokeshire. The previous owner restored her to her former glory and treated her to a new vinyl roof and a full engine rebuild by a well known stock car engine builder. The current owner, B. Gretton bought the car as seen in 2013 in a barn, where the car was stored for five years in the Yorkshire Dales. Since its purchase the car has covered many miles. Engine - 3 litre Essex V6.

METROVICK ELECTRIC MILK FLOAT.
The Metrovick is an early example of the battery powered vehicles used on milk delivery rounds. It belonged to the Sheffield and Ecclesall Co-op in the 1940s. It was made by a local company based in Attercliffe. It replaced traditional horse drawn milk wagons. Battery powered vehicles were cheap to run and moved quietly through the streets allowing people to sleep during the rounds. The distance the milk float could go was limited because the battery would need charging. This milk float is awaiting restoration. Fleet No. 10E Reg No. GWE606.

Hey! I remember and even have rode in a Grenada. But the regular Grenada sold here is a bit different than the Ghia Coupe version. I like the milk floats Cool. The Bedford and Albion lorries are good looking trucks. Flat bed trucks are always useful. The Rochdale Olympic is new to me but not the Austin. You know, the more I look at that handcart, the more I like it. Kinda makes you want one. I say and will say again you have done good here, my friend! Great photography.
