This 1990 Ford Orion 1.4 GL presents as a remarkably original survivor of Ford’s once hugely popular compact saloon. Finished in metallic grey with a matching grey cloth interior, it shows a recorded mileage of just 35,585, which the vendor believes to be credible given the car’s long-term storage and minimal use over recent years — although this cannot be guaranteed.

Originally supplied for use in Germany and re-imported to the UK in 1992, the Orion has had only two previous keepers and remains unmodified, retaining much of its factory specification. The vendor advises that it is a running project requiring recommissioning before road use. The steering lock is currently jammed, so the car will need to be transported from our Cheshire HQ. Once attended to, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine survivor from Ford’s early ’90s range.

First introduced in 1983, the Ford Orion was designed as a more refined, saloon-bodied alternative to the Escort, offering greater luggage space and a slightly more upmarket image while sharing proven mechanical reliability. The 1.4 GL variant was a popular choice for private buyers and company car users alike, combining sensible running costs with Ford’s familiar driving feel.
