Heh! My first new company car was an Orion, way back when.
G551 MYC, black 1.6 Ghia (company wouldn't fork out for the 1.6i).

Was a great little car - I suspect this turbocharged one is a bit of a handful.

They look tiny on the roads now compared to modern stuff…
Yes it’s definitely fun on boost… need to hold on

I’m not sure the wheels are to my taste but the rest of the car is perfect. My parents had one, G470 GKG if I recall, I’m what I remember to be the same colour.

That was replaced with a rounder one on an L plate when they came out. The grey one came with us to Jersey in 1990 on holiday, great memories!

Thanks
I love my Borbet’s very period wheel and look perfect in the flesh imo…
Gotta have a retro wheel on a retro car

Spotted this car on one of those YouTube 'cars leaving a meet' videos - looked great!

Which one?

Don’t get me wrong, love the wheels they just look a bit big. I’m only 38 so not old enough to have lost my marbles but I don’t recall escorts or Orion’s running around on 17’s back in the day.

I’m 39… you had to have 17’s on back then

Orion Sold …
And a couple of weeks back I collected it’s replacement, I’ve bought my old Impreza Type R back …

Is that really a Velvet/flock dashboard?

Flocked yes… I need to source a replacement due to this one being damaged/ worn, if I can find a mint standard dash I’ll be going back to standard
