Default Ford Orion Ghia 1600i Olympic Gold

Hi guys not sure if I want to do this but I'd like a 4x4 for winter.

Up for swap or sale

Ford Orion 1600i Ghia
In Olympic gold with rare interior option

Basics.

Mot April
Tax end of oct
Mileage 100k

This car is absolutely mint it's got 1 tiny piece of rust on front arch and passenger rear arch that is it!

Sills and battery tray are solid it's covered in waxoyl.

Totally original apart from a Ashley Race exhaust and manifold and KnN panel filter.

It's a brilliant car to drive loads of receipts and paperwork. It been really well looked after but previous enthusiasts.

Not in a rush to swap/sell seeing what interest I get.

Really not sure on a price so il say offers around £1500?

And has it been lowered?

Cheers.

The dash colour so I've been told.

Yes on Jamex shocks and springs they've got ford stamped on them.

My van is sorted so this is back available
Since I got it its had a new old stock gearbox , starter motor, quality clutch and cambelt kit , rear wheel bearings front ball joint ignition module and 4 new Uniroyal tyres

Still using it every day its runs , drives and stops like a dream ...its not what I would call "mint" but it is in very, very good condition and an ideal classic daily .

would take £1500

Steve

Its the same as in the photos but mechaniclly much better....i paid £1500 did all the work it owes me over 2k ..for a grand i cant be fooked to mess about taking 100`s of photo`s...been there done it for the ebay messers.


If it dont sell it can rot on my drive ....i am giving it away to someone on here (not advertised anywhere else ) for a cheap car put some effort in and come and have a look.

No offence .

I have owned well over 100 cars of all types and never had so many people fook about for a cheap classic ford ...its a joke.
