Terracotta otherwise known as plant pot red.

A very early MK3 too.

I’m colour blind so telling the difference between very similar shades of red is impossible. I do know it’s not Rosso Red. My Orion was A reg , so about 3 years newer than that car. Ford didn’t often keep the same colours for very long.  
Well, they actually changed them a little and called it a new name.

The disc brake on the later model was horrendous. The drum brake on this must be so much worse. Not to worry though, reliability meant you wouldn't be riding it much.

Agree that this one looks cool though.

I bet those brakes were better than the drums my Fantic GT had at trying to stop a 12 stone 16 year old from 50mph. I bent the rear brake arm trying to stop a few times they were that bad. As for the front, the only time that locked up was in the wet or snow.

Ami on SIKRIMZYO Chelmsford, currently £860 no reserve. Needs a tickle with the sparkly stick, but doesn't sound too bad.

So they decided that the most important thing to do to the poor car was to fit silly alloy wheels go it before any engine of body work?

'She has got various areas which will need attention beneath windscreen including a windscreen replacement a half end house brick did this 2 days before it was parked up'

Soz, M8.

 

 

Pains me to say it, but that does look ace and should be returned to the road.

It pains me to say, but I agree entirely!
