While it is overpriced it's value comes from it's rarity, try and find another factory taxi model Granada never mind one in that condition, definitely one for a Granada enthusiast/ collector, it would attract plenty of attention at shows because of it's rarity.

Just because it's rare, doesn't mean it's valuable though. It is indeed utterly mint, but it's probably the most undesirable model they do. I can see a 2.8i Ghia X, or a 2.8i Sport going for this kinda cash, but not a clean taxi....

might be a stupid idea but i guess you could use it as a donor shell for a ghia x

Exactly, someone will buy it if they're into that kind of thing.
