 Just 32,000 miles from new.

MOT APRIL 2027

Although it is 43 years old making it MOT and TAX exempt

Finished in Diamond White. the paintwork retains a deep. consistent shine throughout. 

This low mileage example has evidently been very well cared for throughout its life and it is difficult to believe that it is now 43 years old!

 The car really is in excellent condition and is completely corrosion free.

Never been welded in its life 

 The plastic bumpers are all free from damage or scuffs and the silver inserts still remain bright. 

The underside is still protected by its factory applied under seal and it is clearly visible that the car has never had any welding work carried out. it is just lovely and clean.

the car has also been fully wax oiled .

yes if im being v picky there are a few tiny stone chips and marks but im just picking tbh it is 43 years old ,ha 

The interior is again fantastic,The seats still remain firm and there is no stretching at all to the cloth. The carpet. headlining are all free from damage and the car still smells like that old 80s ford did.

 The original Ford Radio Cassette is still present and fully functional although its just M,wave &L,wave

The Electric Windows are all in perfect working order. The Tilt/Slide factory Sunroof is smooth in operation and the sunroof channels are clean and free from corrosion. 

   The inside is a amazing place to be and really does take you back the the early 80s

The engine is a sweet 1.6 carb model ,yes thats right a carb model very rare indeed,as you car see the engine bay is very clean with no rot.

This car is amazing for your sunday morning slow cruise to your local car&coffee meet,

This mk1orion ghia being a 1.6 AUTO isnt the fastest but can sit at 60mph all day long as we tested when we drove it 265 miles back from dundee  to yorkshire after selling it 10years ago,

Yes this is the second time ive owend this car .

I bought it 11 years ago needing a small recommission 

then sold it on as you do,cant keep them all i guess.

Les who i sold it to is a lovely chap and defo a car collector he has really looked after it over the years and has enjoyed doing a few shows up scotland .

The Alloy Wheels are free from damage and are shod with matching tyres. the front and the rear tyres still have approximately three quarters of their tread remaining.

The car runs and drives like a old 80s car as you would expect.

 For such a low mileage 32K this is well cared for example. 

when i got the car back home ive give it a good going over checking as much as i can,

 service oil&filter checked all the breaks pipes hoses ect 

Complete with the original Hand Book wallet. containing owners manual. stamped service book. audio operating instructions. accessory guides etc. a host of old mot certificates and old tax discs are also present.

The mk1 orion ghia auto is a very rare sight on our roads today and this low mileage examples in this condition is  still very useable and sure to be a good investment better than money in the bank.

I have done a little digging and this is a very early february 84 plate car and there is currently only 6 mk1 orion ghias on the rd today and this is the only auto making it a 1of 1 on the uk roads according to the DVLA 

im sure theres a few more tucked away somewhere in a barn/garage .

Last weekend i had the car up in the air with all 4 wheels off ,wash and polished them inside &out

washed all under the arches and suspension and rewaxed/and blacked them.

Full claybar ,washed down rewaxed then coated so it will  not need doing for some time. 

just washing with a good car shampoo and drying off.

apart from wanting to tidy it up under there somewhat i wanted it as clean as possible 

as this car has just had a full on photoshoot with classic ford magazine and will be out in the next few months,

so yer im super proud that my efforts&grafft have paid off .

i had a amazing afternoon doing the photoshoot .

really looking forward to seeing the pics& feature in classic ford

THESE ARE MY PICS THAT I HAVE TAKEN AND NOT THE ONES THAT WILL BE IN THE MAGAZINE SO MY APOLOGIES if there a little off ,i promise they defo dont do the car justice as you need to see it .

 

The reason im looking at selling on is im wanting something a tad quicker ,no doubt another ford but im open to other things ,nothing new, needs to be a classic, no swaps but might take a px and cash my way.

All ebay rules apply

i am in no rush to sell as i dont need to.

Please do your own due dilligence 

viewing is strongly recommended 

test drives welcome but ill be the one driving .

please call/message me .
