[robbo4392]





















here I have for sale my beloved ford orion with 48k on the clock genuine every mot since 1984 to present!
really is my pride and joy just cant put the miles on her commuting to work..
very very clean shell virtually no rust at all, however few dents as expected for age..
lowered on lenzo 8j 16" sits very smart and retro. semi good tires all round.
fiesta si seats getting rare now, very nice to sit in.
pressed plates (still legal)
engine wise it has webber tin 40 dcnf race carbs all set up with correct jets.
fast road piper 285 camshaft, facet electric fuel pump,
also new ht leads spark plugs dizzy cap rotor arm etc all changed.
cam belt changed around a year ago by previous owner and head gasket changed personally last week, old gasket to prove alos have pictures of the bores also in very good condition.

bad bits: needs rear wheel bearing replacing, stereo not wired up, took a wack passenger side wing behind the bumper by previous owner however I replaced the bumper so barely noticeable other than that really is a solid, sound car will miss her.

also comes with standard seats, wheels, and a four branch manifold that I didnt get round to fitting.

That is bloody lovely! ;D
Little XR front splitter, Orion grille and some period seats and that would be perfect.

That's SWEEET!

And a bargain too. I actually quite like the Escort grille on it and also the clean look too without the usual spotlights and clear indicators. The wheels look good too. Are they definitely 8" wide? If so, I didn't realise wheels that wide would go under the stock arches to neatly. It's a good look.

Best of luck with the sale, I reckon it's a bargain.

Was wondering that myself, they don't sit how 8s usually do on these.

If they are marked 7JJ then they are 7". The J has nothing to do with wheel width, it is the tyre bead profile. JJ simply means both the front and rear beads are J profile.

No mention of engine size here mate, what suspension is is sat on ??

I really like this car !!! ;D
