Campervans are big money at the moment yet you can get all of this 6 wheeled magnificence for just £3k.

I want that more than my kidneys. fk knows what I'd do with it though.

A vintage vanlife youtube channel?

I remember wanting one of these when they were contemporary, shame there's no interior pics. I'm imagining lots of brown or burgundy velour.

I'm imagining a piss-stained mattress, some fishing gear and a roll of duct tape.

You just know it either was, or will become, Saville-esque. On reflection, I really don't want to see the interior.

Can I have my kidney back?

I don’t remember the last time I saw an Orion Ghia, but I remember when me and my mates considered these desirable machines.

What?
It says it is riddled with rust.

Yeah, based on the stuff we can see I'd be amazed if that made it back onto the trailer in one piece.

£3k is insane

It looks riddled with rust that's been painted over, crispier and flakier than a crispy flaky thing.

I'd be scared to open or close the door on that, never mind sit in it.

Mind you, from memory, that was true when it was new! Hateful thing, unlike its successor, for which I had (and have) a soft spot.

Some people are just odd - "bought it recently, done over a 100 miles in it (!!!), too nice for me"......WTAF ?

Ghia 1.6i was the one, pepperpot alloys, spoiler, black lower sides to match the bumpers, XR3i engine. For an Orion, they were alright.

I was joking, perhaps I should've used a smilie. Some cars are 10 footers, I reckon that one's at least 100.

Since we're on Ford C-segment saloons, here's a more modern option.

There is a young(ish) guy in our town who blasts around in a mk2 4 door with the rear doors welded up to make it look like a 2 door - even has Sport stripes to complete the look.
it looks wrong from pretty much every angle except dead on rear and front

With 99.9% new components except for the VIN, which will be off this.
