I've loved building this, owning it, getting the double feature in FasFord . . .






Its been a great giggle to own, But I really haven't the time to maintain all my fleet.
It isn't used as often as I'd like to use it hence thinking of moving it on.


Taxed til end of December and Mot'ed til end of December ( will re MOT if needed )



I have got a ghia rear seat, carpet, some gl door cards, c/l, elec window motors and looms that I can throw in with the sale if somebody wants to build it back up.


Will listen to genuine offers. But aint gonna let it go for peanuts.

NOW £1800.00 as it is.

Or £1200.00 and fetch your own wheels ( I'll keep the Comps for the track )

Pm me or Ring / text on 07908779575 Chris

I work days and nights so if I dont answer just text and i'll get back to you.

 

That looks f*****g lush mate GLWTS although I would rip your arm off if I hadnt just bought a 205 gti

 

gorgeous and having seen it at the shows it is certainly a looker

 

Is down on the v5 as a 1800 mate ?

 

+1 just bought myself a wee saxo as a run around but this would have been great absolute stunning looking car mate.

 

That's retro as fuck i love it

 

Still a 1300 so cheap tax. Just over £120 quid a year.
I've been insuring it through keith Michaels all mods declared, fully comp at £340 quid on a 2nd policy. I'm 29.

 

GLWTS, it still looks great, what are you thinking of getting now?

 

that looks great glwts

 

Nowt atm. Just need to spend somemore time on the other one over winter. I use my push bike for work, Hence selling this one tbh. I rarely use it now. And have use of the misses's A3.
Just thought it would be worth a post on here. Think it's priced about right?

 

Ahhh too much cars and not enough hours in the day.. a bit like myself. I think its priced resonable for the time/£ you have spend on it but I suppose its only worth it to the right buyer and the market is dead at the moment I hope it goes to a good home cause its a cracking motor. Defo worth a post on here though, you never no

 

If it don't go I'm happy to keep it. Ill eventually get round to doing the rear arches again.

 

Looks a beaut bud

I'd get rid of my cab for that
but wrong time year to try sell it now

GLWS

 

One of the nicest onions around, worth every penny, GLWTS

 

any pics of the bits that need doing?

 

Arches








Bottom of drivers door.





Before The respray the rear arches were plated up where needed. Previous to me buying the car it had been off the road for 5 years. There was no rust on them really. But two winters have done em.
I wish I'd put full arches in now, but it's not much work, I still have access to some paint. So it would only be rear 1/4s and a blow in on the bottom of the door to get it mint again.
It is 22 years old.

 

can vouch for the standard of these cars have seen one in the flesh and they are awesome pieces of kit,out of interest you still able to get wheels retrimmed in leather mate ? goodluck with the sale.

 

Yes mate give us a pm.
Cheers.

 

Stunning car.

 

Wow, i dont read build threads but i did yours. GLWS. Whoever buys it needs to buy it with the wheels thats for sure.

 

would you sell me the wheels ?? pm me

 

cant see this hangin about to long mate.

its minted, iv always liked it

GLWS!

 

Sorry if the car stays the comps stay. If someone buys the car without the comps they'll still stay sorry.

 

Taken a few pics of the inside and under the bonnet.

 

In Fast Ford you said you was gonna do the rear arches!

Would love to have this but cant! Even if i did im sure the misses would not like it!

GLWTS

 

Love this car. Easily one of the best looking Orions ever!

 

Will do them if I keep it. Just haven't got the time ATM hence testing the water.

Cheers for the comments though

 

Bttt

 

wanna swap for a standard black 1600i ghia?or know anyone who does.cant shift mine

 

Would prefer a cash sale but suppose I'm open to px's

Would do a deal on the ghia with some money my way.

 

Seen this at mascrat a few times always looks SILLY clean! worth every penny not often you see an immaculate orion!

 

It still attends the Cheshire Rsoc meets. Cheers

 

i seen this advertised this morning for the first time...and now is literally the 5th time i have viewed this thread!!! i want this car sooooo much and i have cash burning a hole in my bank account lol, but i cannot justify the overheads of flight over, fuel to the boat and then the boat back to northern ireland!!!

wish it was on this soil!!! glwts!!

 

The tanks full ATM. Its cheap to run.

 

easily one of the best looking orions around !
wouldnt be the same car on diff wheels.
good luck with the sale mate

 

Cheers for the comments. Bttt

 

its a great orion with great spec but think if it had an interior it would sell better IMHO,
i would love to have it but int got the pennies unfortunatly

 

Maybe so, but I have door cards, a ghia rear bench, ghia carpet, elec windows, c/l and lower console which can be thrown in with the sale.
Atleast it's there if someone does buy it.

 

£1800.00 quid as it stands ( willing to put a new mot on it )

£1200.00 quid and fetch your own wheels.

Won't be budging on the price now. I'll hang onto it if it don't sell.

Bargain!
