Optimistic used car pricing on pistonheads..
Accidentally clicked on the Orion bit on pistonheads while having a browse...
Found these 2 motors priced a tad optimistically

The red one's got an extra zero, but that white one is one of my all time fave Fords!
Love it, it's just the way the should have been made.
I wouldn't pay that, but it's worth strong money anyway

If you saw that white one in the metal, you'd see why he's asking a lot for it. The guy who built it is registered on here. It's probably the best MK2 Orion in the UK. Yes £5k is a lot, but people are paying figures getting towards that for S2 RS Turbo's these days, and this is a lot more individual and probably a lot higher spec than a lot of those. I'm not sure I'd pay quite that much for it, as I'm not that into them, but considering the spec, what's been spent on it and how clean it is, it's definately worth good money.
I'm guessing the red one is a mistake though, that or he hasn't done his research! That said however, Orion prices are on the up nowadays, good ones are hard to get hold of now, and as they're all 20+ years old, enthusiasts are starting to pick up on them.

To be honest the white one is a minter, which has had a fortune spent on it. The advert doesn't really reflect how good condition its in.
I wouldn't pay £5K for one, but someone will for the white one.
