Ha Ha - no worries Alan - but I think most fans would now consider the Ford Orion to be a classic although the whole "When does a car become a classic ?" question continues to be a hot discussion point and probably will continue to do so. I guess the general feeling is around 25 years....
For our non uk members, the Ford Orion was built from 1983-1993. It's similar to the Ford Escort but whereby the Escort was a hatchback, the Orion was a saloon, basically an Escort with a boot, as often described over here. Like the Escort, the Orion was a popular car and a good seller for Ford in the UK. Once a very popular car, the Orion is declining in numbers now and is becoming a rare car although if you're lucky, you still spot the odd few which are still being used as daily drivers, but generally, most are now in the hands of enthusiasts. The car pictured, an '89/'90 model was in immaculate condition so is obviously a cherished car.
