atomic punk Posted June 4, 2020 Author Posted June 4, 2020 Pretty sure mine are Orion 1600e. A nice looking wheel but a right pain to keep clean!
Rod/b Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 I always thought the 1600e and equipe got the same wheel, 14” BBS style.
Dan302 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Looks perfect as it is, it's exactly how I remember seeing them in the 90s!

atomic punk Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 Well today was mot day, Another once over identified no significant issues, so duly driven down to the garage. Result? Pass, with one advisory for a sticky back brake, one about the patches mentioned earlier and a verbal advisory for a slightly blowing exhaust. Might have to go for a blast later this evening in the interests of freeing off that brake ? Bren, Tickman, mercedade and 13 others 16
danthecapriman Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Congratulations on the MOT! Ill keep an eye out for you on the road round here.
atomic punk Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 Well, I have had the opportunity to buy something I have been after for a very long time at a good price. I now officially have more cars than I have space for, so this is regretfully up for sale. Link to ebay advert, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-MK3-XR3-1982/154021869585?hash=item23dc6b3811:g:LcMAAOSwxvFfHd0M Lots of work done as per opening post and as in the description on the ebay ad, which also outlines the jobs that still need doing. Mileage has now turned 100k. I'd like to see this go to a good home so am open to sensible offers from anyone on here in exchange for a painless sale.... Carlosfandango, KitKat, Dick Cheeseburger and 2 others 5
Carlosfandango Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Well done on the sale. Looks like a lovely car. I missed on what it was that caught your eye? What’s the new arrival? CFD
stripped fred Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Well done on the sale. So, what are you replacing it with...? Please let us know.
atomic punk Posted July 28, 2020 Author Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks! It sold pretty quickly and got a good price on it. I am genuinely sad to see it go. But it increased the kitty sufficiently that I can buy something that otherwise would be out of reach. So to the next buyage, it's probably the finest car that leyland ever made.....and probably the least reliable! Carlosfandango 1
