I've got a soft spot for Mk1 Onions. My dad brought brand new a D reg Mk1 1.6 GL in Rosso red. Was a cracking car. always fancied one myself.

Orions rule. Often making a saloon from a hatch goes horribly wrong (Nova saloon, Skoda Fabia saloon etc) but the Orion always looked sharp - as did the bigger Sapphire. Ford were good at saloons. Then came the Scorpio and first Focus at which point it all went wrong...

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Welcome! Looking forward to the pics also!
Reanimations right they are a rare sight these days.
The closest i've got to owning one was buying a Ghia to break to help my mk3 Escort survive, but they were more common back then.

mk1 onions- me like me bro had a B reg one, with a webber on the 1300 CVH Think it was a 1.3 GL, in the days when CVH's came in that flavour (when the 1400 came out, the 1300 became the HCS crossflow model I think) loved the thing myself! look forward to seeing the pics  |

my friend had an orion and we decided to cut the roof of it, not sure why but it was fun then took out all the springs and rent for a quick laning mission on the dampers, handeled like a go kart till the front shocks absorbers exploded and we ended up backwards in a field, onions are kool, but you should never polish them

I know of a potential G reg 1.4 orion thats destined for the scrap yard. It will fail it's MOT soon and the bodywork needs work, interior's mint though.

Heres my old mk2 Onion. Agree with all the comments above, ithey were a good car and now i miss mine. Quite rare now, especialy the mk1s and the 1600E's. Get one and stick it in a shed for another 7 or so years. In the end the rear arches were going, it smoked like a chimeny and kept on having problems with the carb so it went. Wish i hadent have gotten rid of it now!  |
