That Orion 1600E could be made nice again

Might be worth OMG FORTUNEZZ ON CAR REG SELLING SITE

 

Could = a free car at least

[retrogeezer]

Yeh, I don't suppose it is for sale is it as I would love one of those 1600E's??

[Shep Shepherd]

I hope that the 1600E lives on!

I fell in love with the model after reading about it in a Ford brochure some time in 1990. A factory standard one in Raven is on my 'to own' list

I remember Car Magazine doing one of their 'Giant Tests' with one of these, a Belmont CD and an Allegro VDP!

How come, in the top pic there is a green Rover 400 infront of the Renault (with something else on top) but in the second pic they have both vanished!?

[Shep Shepherd]

Seems like the bidders for the 1600E realise that it isn't just your average knackered Orion. I hope that this means that it will be restored

Just ended at £535. Seems pretty reasonable to me and I would have probably dipped my hand in my pocket had it been closer to home.

[Shep Shepherd]

I expect to see it cleaned-up and for sale on a certain classic car classifieds website quite soon

 

I wonder if it still has its model-specific floor mats and leather keyring?
