Default ford orion ghia 1.8

I have an L reg Ford Orion Ghia 1.8 and cannot find any mention of this model on the internet. Does this mean it is rare and more valuable or simply because that nobody wants one???

Unfortunately the latter. Just a "nothing special" Orion at the end of the day. Mk5 Escorts/mk3 Orion werent exactly sought after.
Mk3 Orion should bring up a few more results or get yourself on the OrionRegister (assume it still exists)

Thanks for your informative reply. I have now Googled Mk three Orion but am a little confused as it reveals this model ceased in 1993. Mine was Registered in 1994 but I expect that it might be a normal process for discontinued marques?

It could be a late model or is it in fact a "mk4" Orion, which was formally known as an Escort Saloon? As in:

I will check this out later but from memory I believe the front is a lot more square? The car hasn't been on the road for a while and is in my garage at home.

Thx. You have ben very helpful.

No relative value but I need the space so at least I can now advertise exactly what it is and also have accurate answers ready. It is a decent low mileage car but apparently only that so okay for someone who wants a reliable run around.
