About the Ford Granada Mk1 Metallic Green & Black MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 Ford Granada Mk1 reproduces the 1972 saloon in metallic green over black, a sealed diecast casting of Ford's European flagship executive car, built during the years before the Granada name stood alone as Ford's top-tier British saloon offering.

Ford's Granada Mk1 rarely gets the attention lavished on sportier classics, yet through the 1970s it was the car British police forces, company directors and television production fleets all reached for. MCG's diecast gives that overlooked executive saloon its due in metallic green and black.

MCG's 1:18 Diecast Treatment of an Overlooked Classic

MCG has built its catalogue around classic cars that larger diecast manufacturers tend to skip, and the Granada Mk1 is a textbook example of that gap-filling approach. The model arrives as a sealed, one-piece zinc alloy body, with no opening doors or bonnet, a construction choice that lets MCG concentrate its tooling budget on getting the Granada's long, flat bonnet and upright glasshouse proportions correct rather than engineering hinge mechanisms for a niche subject. Lifted from its box, the casting carries genuine heft, the density that signals proper diecast construction rather than a lighter composite shortcut. The metallic green paint sits over a black lower section and roof treatment, a two-tone combination that period Fords of this class frequently wore, and the transition between the two finishes runs along a clean, consistent line rather than bleeding at the edges. Chrome detailing around the grille, bumpers and window surrounds is picked out crisply, giving the car the brightwork-heavy look that defined executive saloons of the early 1970s before plastic cladding took over. For a subject this far outside the diecast mainstream, MCG's willingness to tool a dedicated casting at all is itself the main selling point, executed with enough care that the result reads as a serious reproduction rather than a budget afterthought.

The Granada Mk1 and Its Place in 1970s British Motoring

Ford launched the Granada in 1972 as the range-topping model built jointly in Germany and at Ford's Dagenham plant in the UK, replacing the ageing Zephyr and Zodiac as the brand's European executive flagship. It arrived with a choice of four-cylinder and V6 engines and, in higher Ghia trim, a level of standard equipment and interior refinement that previous Ford saloons in this class had never quite managed. The Granada's size, comfort and relatively modest running costs made it a natural choice for British police forces through the 1970s and into the 1980s, where it served widely as a motorway patrol and pursuit car, and its presence in period television drama fleets only reinforced that association with authority and speed. For company car drivers too, a Granada represented genuine status without stepping into premium German territory, a distinctly British compromise between aspiration and practicality. A metallic green example from 1972 sits right at the launch of that story, before the facelifts and the eventual Mk2 reworked the formula for the back half of the decade. Few surviving examples remain on British roads today, which only sharpens the appeal of a faithfully reproduced miniature.

A Niche Classic for a 1970s Saloon Collection

This Granada sits naturally alongside other 1970s British and European executive saloons, filling a gap that premium resin specialists and mainstream diecast brands alike tend to leave unaddressed. MCG occupies a modest, specialist tier rather than a premium one, and the price reflects that honestly rather than overstating the build against larger, better-funded manufacturers. Pair it with a contemporary Vauxhall, Rover or Triumph saloon and the contrast between British manufacturers' very different takes on executive motoring becomes part of the display's story, far more interesting than a single marque standing alone. A sealed body keeps the price accessible, which matters for a subject that will likely always sit at the quieter end of most collections rather than its centrepiece.
