Narrative:
The flight scheduled as maintenance ferry from to ZZZ1. The aircraft was fueled for flight from to ZZZ2 so there was plenty of gas on board. Ground operations were delayed due to failure to get mfd (maintenance ferry document) over the ACARS. Eventually the mfd was sent to ZZZ ops and delivered to the aircraft. Due to improper fueling the crew also had to get a deferral for a fuel automatic feed fault. Remainder of ground ops were normal. Taxi and takeoff thru rotation were all normal. The captain pilot flying (PF) called for gear up. First officer attempted to raise the gear handle and found it locked in the down position. Shortly after that left/G shock absorber fault ECAM displayed. Flight director; autopilot and autothrust systems all inop. Crew made the decision to continue to ZZZ1 and completed all checklist. The dispatcher was advised of the situation and decision to continue. Voice communication with the dispatcher was attempted via the call me ACARS function but failed for unknown reasons. ATC was notified of the situation and informed that the flight would continue to ZZZ1.... There was a strong; gusty crosswind at ZZZ1 and the captain flew a visual approach and landing to runway at ZZZ1.
