My dad had a really early immaculate 1983 Orion Ghia, looked the shit (well IMO) in red with pepperpot alloys, and (factory) tinted windows. He bought it off a work colleague who had had it for years, the wife of the bloke he bought it off was almost crying as we drove off. This was around the year 2000 so it was just an old knacker at the time and worth absolutely nothing.

 

Sadly it went for an MOT and they over filled it with oil (??????) and never ran again, was traded in and scrapped. I'd have gone crackers - it drove in there and he used it every day for work so wasn't broken - but my dad doesn't like to make a fuss.

 

I nearly cried when it got carted off for frag.

 

Had I been older I'd have saved it, but I was still in middle school. I'd love an early one with the black 3 slat grille, but OSF tax means no chance unless I win the lottery. I couldn't really care less about Fords, but would make an exception for one of these.

Even when I was a lad, 1600E orions were the holy grail. Lads had XR2s, 3is, Orion Ghias, but nobody had ever seen a 1600E in the flesh. A few people claimed to have a cousin/uncle/neighbour who had one with an escort turbo engine in and that was basically the best and most adult and respectable car anyone could imagine when I was 15.

 

Not in my town...  Fords of that era, especially something with a CVH, were seen as naff.  Cars to have were 325i, Audi 80 Coupe, Cosworth 190E -  or you were an oik.  Mind you, I grew up near St Albans.

They still make them.  You can get one today from your MB dealer:

Take out the PCP from a very reasonable £18k down, and the bill is nudging £102k

 

You will* have the added benefit of your house price rising exponentially as long as you keep it static displayed on the drive.  Up until those lads from Bradford pinch it in the night and get it sent out the country

I've got a weird thing for the G Class. But the thoughts of buying one, then either

 

1. sweeping it off the driveway before it's 10th birthday

2. having to fly to Kinshasa every weekend to gather it up in bits, bring it home and rebuild it for Monday's commute

 

Put me off.

People love the VW Kombi Van, a design icon and bringer of new age hippyness, that sort of jargon right.

 

Well what if we Kmobined one of them and a caravan...

There's something very similar on "in the night garden" - the pinky ponk isn't it?

This one lived near me, was owned from 2yo, but it got scrapped a couple of years back. So much for old Fords never dying..
