I saw a cracking one today in mint condition! Think it was a mark 2 and looked recently painted!

Was also a big fan of the Ford Orion!

What did you think I was talking about? Perverts!!!!!!

The Orion was crap

Mk 2 was a cracking little car.

But then I liked driving the Mk 5 cortina as it would slide everywhere

First car I had when I passed my test in 1993 was a mark 3, the first of the newer shape! Kept it for six months and traded it in for a Peugeot 205! Big mistake!

Wish I still had my Mk1 RS1600 and Gp4 Mk2 RS1840. Worth a small fortune now.

Still have the original sales brochures in mint condition for many of the Mk1 & 2 RS models, which I can look at if I want to beat myself up
