In what seems to be the now usual fashion the 2011 season has been and gone in a flash – the first season for many years I have not taken a Mk1 to any shows as the Estate has been away for a full engine rebuild which I have to say has been brilliantly done – just don’t trust brand new condensers ! ! ! The good thing is though the car is now in more than good order to join the celebrations next year when we see the 40th anniversary of the introduction of the Mk1 Granada.

Inside this issue of your mag we have a fine selection of show reports, another fantastic technical article from Paul Wansbrough. Our journey through the Granada years visits 1984 – I couldn’t help but think when researching events how certain aspects of history are repeating themselves right now.

Your Car’s The Star features ALN 157Y – I have more in reserve but please do not let this put you off writing your very own the moment you have just read this !

Our thanks this time to Paul Wansbrough, Callum Marsdon, Graham Geddes, Martin Ecott, Nick Edwards for their articles for your mag.

Issue 70 of your magazine is awaiting articles from YOU ! ! So if you have anything to send please can you do this by Saturday 7th January 2012

'Where’s my &^%* Mag ? Not had one for ages !' – true enough however please bear in mind this Mag is produced in a completely voluntary capacity and does consume a considerable amount of limited spare time. If anyone with lots of spare time would like to have a bash then please do let us know !
